The Ondangwa Town Council has made a generous contribution towards educational infrastructure by donating bricks towards the construction of a school hall at Shinime Shiivula Primary School in the town.

This donation marks a significant step towards improving the school's facilities and the educational environment for its students.

School authorities wrote to the Ondangwa Town Council last year requesting support for the construction of a school hall.

Oshana Governor Elia Irimari is urging the regional leadership to work together and refrain from corrupt practices.

Irimari addressed stakeholders in development at an engagement held at the Leo Shoopala Hall in Oshakati.

Irimari advised stakeholders to refrain from tendencies that could derail development or service delivery.

"Let us all reaffirm our commitment to a zero-tolerance policy on corruption. Together, let's create an environment where transparency, accountability, and ethical behaviours flourish in matters of corruption.".

The Regional Education Director in the Oshana Region, Hileni Amukana, has warned learners to desist from alcohol and harmful substance abuse.

She said this during a meeting at the Leo Shoopala Hall in Oshakati with concerned learners, parents, and other stakeholders aimed at mitigating this issue.

The warning comes after the director's office received reports that learners from various schools are reporting to school drunk and under the influence of drugs.

Another is that learners are drinking and smoking between lessons.
