Police in the Omaheke Region have raised concerns over a spike in vehicle part thefts. Over ten cases have been reported since September, and two suspects have been arrested so far.

The farming community is encouraged to transform farming practices to mitigate the impact of climate change.

This call was made by the Marketing and Communication Officer at Agri-Transform, Ismael Henock, while speaking at the Farmers Information Day at Gobabis. 

Gobabis residents are urged to use water sparingly, with only 18 boreholes available to supply them with water.

The main water source, the Otjivero Dam, levels are at seven percent due to poor rainfall received.

The incoming National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO) Gobabis local authority councillor, Uataviza Patire, has committed to improving basic services in the town's informal settlements.

Patire succeeds former mayor Elvire Theron, who resigned from the party to join the Republican Party.

The Vice Chairperson of the New Era Board, Edwin Tjiramba, says enhancing stakeholder participation is vital in shaping the country's development agenda.

The annual FNB Classic Clashes, held at the Wennie du Plessis Netball Field in Gobabis, showcased the exceptional skills of Wennie Du Plessis, who secured a hard-fought victory in the netball competition.

Some residents of Gobabis are camping at the town's municipal head office, waiting for the local authority leadership to receive their petition.

The Office of the Omaheke Governor and some local farmers are working together to supply a soup kitchen at Gobabis with milk three times a day.

The soup kitchen feeds vulnerable children, and the supply of milk will help to curb malnutrition.

The Omaheke Region Governor's Doctors Outreach Initiative is a humanitarian campaign to provide much-needed medical services in the region. 

The initiative saw a team of 30 specialists from Windhoek embark on a mission to improve the health and well-being of Gobabis residents and surrounding areas.

The MR 119, which runs from Gobabis to Talismanus for 145 kilometres, will be upgraded to a low-volume, seal-standard road.

N$200 million has been set aside by the Roads Authority for the three-phased project.
