The Topnaar community in the Erongo Region is in need of a vocational training center, as well as other private educational institutions that could cater to the youth.

This was raised by a member of the community association, Albertus Kooitjie, during a community engagement meeting hosted by the Topnaar Community Association at Utuseb.

Utuseb is a small settlement situated in the Namib Desert, approximately 40 kilometers from Walvis Bay, on the banks of the Kuiseb River.

Deputy Prime Minister Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has paid her respects to the Topnaar community after they lost their chief in 2019.

The Deputy Prime Minister and her delegation visited the Topnaars at Utuseb, a settlement in the Namib Desert near Walvis Bay.

Nandi-Ndaitwah indicated that she had a close working relationship with the late Topnaar Chief Seth Kooitjie when she was the Minister of Environment and Tourism.
