Vice President Nangolo Mbumba continues with his visits to the northern parts of the country.

Mbumba visited the Onandjokwe Intermediate Hospital in the Oshikoto Region, one of the oldest hospitals in the north of Namibia.

Three of the four northern regions are preparing for another possible severe drought due to poor rainfall.

It is against that background that the Regional Governors of Oshana, Omusati and Oshikoto along with other stakeholders, assessed water levels in the Etaka- Uuvudhiya water canal.

The community of Ngwangwa in the Kavango West Region now has easy access to service, thanks to the North, South, West Fishing Company, which provided a pedestrian brigde.

Two schools in the Kabbe South and Kabbe North constituencies are the latest to benefit from the government's rural electrification program.

Residents in the Namiyundu and Nankuntwe areas have been without electricity since independence.

The restrictions on the movement of livestock in six northern regions have been lifted.

The restrictions were imposed following an outbreak of the contagious lung sickness called bovine pleuro-pneumonia in February.
