Lawmakers in the National Council are calling for more concerted efforts to address the ongoing drought crisis, following the Minister of Finance's announcement in the midterm budget in the National Assembly.

The Omaheke Regional Council (ORC) has supported the motion aimed at upgrading the Trans Kalahari Border Post from a settlement to a fully-fledged town council.

This will help in the provision of service delivery.

After years of delay due to limited funds, 40 houses will be constructed at Aminuis in the Omaheke Region under the Build Together Project.

The construction of the houses, under the auspices of the Omaheke Regional Council, is expected to be completed before the end of this year.
