Residents of Aminuis Constituency in the Omaheke Region have expressed strong concern about the socio-economic implications and environmental effects of the proposed Green Hydrogen Project.

They expressed these sentiments during a stakeholders' meeting on the Green Hydrogen Namibia project, which was addressed by Obeth Kandjoze at Aminuis constituency.

Residents, while commending the government's proactive approach in initiating a project of significant magnitude aimed at bolstering the nation's economy, expressed several reservations and concerns as well.

The headman at Corridor 22 in the Aminuis constituency of the Omaheke Region, Mbambu Arikumbi, is happy his village is set to receive a new borehole.

The village has been struggling to get water for the past three years after their existing borehole gave up.

Arikumbi says residents in the area find it difficult to travel more than 5 kilometres daily to Corridor 21 for water.

This situation, he says, affects residents' livelihoods.

The headman fears that with the prevalent drought situation and lack of water, farmers will lose great numbers of livestock.

The Chairperson of the Stampriet Acquifer Uranium Mining Association, Divan Opperman, has called on all relevant authorities to do proper research before taking any decision regarding the possible exploration and mining activities in the Aminuis Constituency.

Opperman made the call after a community engagement session at Leonardville.

Speaking to nbc News, Opperman stated that the Stampriet Aquifer is a source of water for many, and proper investigations are a must before any mining activity is carried out.

28 households at Corridor 14 in the Aminuis Constituency, Omaheke Region, received solar electrical equipment through the Embassy of the United States.

The donation is worth more than N$100,000 and includes solar lights and radios.

The donated items are meant to help the community living close to the Namibia-Botswana border fend off predators that used to terrorize them at night.

The community of Omaheke said it has lost a family man, Absai Uetuesapi Mungendje, who always advocated for peace among his people.

Mungendje aged 99 died last week. 
 
The traditional priest was residing at Toasis, at the homestead of the late Hosea Kutako in the Aminuis Constituency.

The homestead is being transformed into a memorial museum in honor of the late Chief Hosea Kutako.

The late Mungendje was a nephew and a driver of the late Ombara Kutako.

Prime Minister Sara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila says Chief Hosea Kutako was a national hero who didn't only think of his tribe but reached out to other communities. She said this when she visited Divine Priest Absai Uetuesapi Mungendje, who now oversees the sacred shrine at the Hosea Kutako Museum and Homestead in Toasis in the Aminuis Constituency.

High stock theft cases in the Omaheke Region's Aminuis Constituency are causing concern among farming communities.

Farmers say they are losing donkeys and small stock, and more than 50 animals were stolen during the past two months.

Hence, the community called upon the Namibian Police Force to tighten up its operation around the corridors and the constituency at large.
