||Kharas Governor Dawid Gertze highlighted the need to fully harness the region's natural resources to drive Namibia's industrialisation agenda. 

The rising rate of school dropouts at Suiderlig High School in Keetmanshoop, ||Kharas Region, has become a serious concern. This year alone, 21 learners have left school, a significant increase from just six dropouts recorded last year.

Kunene Governor Marius Sheya says green hydrogen opportunities offered to young people in the region have not been responsive to the needs of school drop-outs.

Sheya is advocating for their inclusion in future projects.
