The Zambezi Regional Council is ready to host the 34th Independence Celebration for the first time since independence.

The Zambezi Regional Council has handed over three transformers, valued at N$238,000, to three villages in the Linyanti Constituency.

New members and a chairperson have been elected for the management committee of the Zambezi Regional Council.

Matengu Simushi of the Swapo Party and Councillor of the Katima Rural Constituency has been re-elected chairperson of the Zambezi Regional Council's Management Committee.

The dust has refused to settle in the Sibbinda Constituency following the appointment of a cleaner.

The community feels the appointment was unfair as the position was not advertised to accord all interested residents a chance to apply.

Prime Minister, Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila, held a closed-door meeting with representatives of the Zambezi Regional Council, the Katima Mulilo Town Council and the Bukalo Village Council at Katima Mulilo on Friday.
