The Namibia Progressive Party (NAPPA) says it plans to introduce a temporary electricity levy meant to reduce costs for consumers.

Co-founder Penda Negonga made the announcement during a press conference in Windhoek, ahead of the Regional Councils and Local Authorities elections.  

The Ministry of Education, Innovation, Youth, Sport, Arts and Culture is collaborating with the Namibia Planned Parenthood Association to reopen youth-friendly clinics across the country's 14 regions.

This is in response to issues specific to young people, including sexual and reproductive health needs.
