Aussenkehr, a settlement located on the banks of the Orange River, is known for its agricultural activities, particularly the cultivation of table grapes, which are exported to Europe.

The settlement has a primary school, a government clinic, a police station, and a shopping centre.

Despite being a billion-dollar industry, the farmworkers in the vineyards in Aussenkehr live in harsh conditions, lacking access to clean water, sanitation, and basic services.

Namibia has officially sent off a team of competitors to the special edition of the World Skills competition, to be held in different European countries.

The 25-member team comprises eight competitors as well as expected and accompanying officials.

The World Skills Competition 2022 was supposed to have been held in Shanghai, China, but the event was cancelled due to COVID-19.
