The president of the Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) says the Kavango regions have agricultural potential and the ability to become beacons of prosperity for Namibia.
McHenry Venaani made the remarks at a PDM rally at Divundu, Kavango East, during the weekend.
There is not a single old-age home in the Kavango East and West regions, and it's not because there is a shortage of financial resources to build such establishments.
A local expert says it's simply not part of the culture to isolate the elderly.
If you were thinking about relocating to the Kavango regions in the hopes of living in an old-age home, don't bother because you won't find any.
Rundu Rural Constituency Councillor Paulus Mbangu has denounced the budget allocations to the two Kavango regions this year.
Speaking in the National Council, Mbangu says the two Kavango Regions were identified as 'crisis regions, yet they were provided with few resources.
This Mbangu state hampers the execution of set agendas, particularly to address poverty in the two Kavango Regions.
He also questioned the central government's commitment to addressing poverty when all regions lack sufficient resources.
Namibians who hail from the two Kavango regions, but reside in other parts of the country, have been urged to invest in their regions of origin, thereby alleviating hunger and poverty.
The call was made by a group living in the Erongo Region as they paid tribute to the people who died in a suspected food poisoning incident at Kayova village.
Residents who hailed from the Kavango and other northern regions gathered at a local church to pay homage to the 16 family members who died of food poisoning at Kayova village in Kavango East.
The organising committee of the Rundu Annual Trade Fair says it takes pride in contributing to young talent development in the two Kavango regions and the town of Rundu in particular.
Its Chairperson, Fransiska Thikerete-Kupembona, says 21 artists from the regions were given the opportunity to display their talent at the ongoing expo.
The Rundu Annual Trade Fair returned this year after two years of absence, and Rundu-based performers were hoping to grace the stage and also make an income in the process.
