Residents at Otjmbingwe and surrounding areas urged politicians to solve issues of water shortage at the settlement.

Some Otjmbingwe residents are optimistic about the upcoming elections, which they will be participating in.

The Epukiro Post 3 Secondary School has unveiled a new borehole that was drilled to alleviate the water shortage that has been plaguing the school for years. 

The borehole is expected to improve water provision for the school's 1,100 learners, most of whom are hostel dwellers.

NamWater is calling on residents of central Namibia to use water sparingly as the area is facing a serious water shortage. 

Currently, the central area of Namibia gets its water supply from the Omatako, Von Bach, and Swakoppoort dams.
