Forty-five young people from Mangetti Dune and surrounding villages have turned out in large numbers to attend a leadership, policy and governance training organised by Indigenous Communities for Self-Determination.

Indigenous Communities for Self-Determination was founded in June 2025.

The community of Mangetti Dune in the Tsumkwe Constituency in the Otjozondjupa Region has earned an income through a sewing project introduced by the UNFPA last year.

The shortage of classrooms, water supply challenges and a lack of staff accommodation were among the concerns raised by stakeholders at Mangetti Dune during a visit by a delegation from the Office of the Prime Minister.

The residents of Mangetti Dune in the Tsumkwe constituency have been without clean water for months now.

The generator that pumps the community boreholes broke down last year when the nbc news team visited the community just before the local authority and regional council elections.
