The festive season, which sees an influx of people coming back to their residential homes for the holiday, also serves as an opportunity for local businesses to boost their profit margins.

The holiday season is a period when many individuals become victims of crimes, but most occurrences may be prevented if people pay close attention to their surroundings and take proactive safeguards.

Oshana Governor Elia Irimari says the safety of people should take center stage during the upcoming festive season as the influx of visitors has started.

The Blood Transfusion Service of Namibia is on a campaign to get more blood as the holiday season approaches.

The team was spotted at Grove Mall in Windhoek, this campaign is also taking place in Oshakati. 

People could be observed voluntarily giving blood, something that is encouraging to see.
