A member of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Natural Resources, Mike Venaani, is of the opinion that much still needs to be done to develop Gam settlement and its surrounding areas.

Venaani remarked on this after a visit to the area.

Plans to repatriate 201 Namibian descendents from Botswana to Gam Settlement in the Otjozondjupa Region have hit a snag.

Otjozondjupa Governor James Uerikua confirmed that the initial plan to repatriate the community by the end of this year is stalled due to logistical challenges.

Drought relief assistance and livestock support programmes for thousands of vulnerable and affected communities and farmers in the Otjozondjupa Region will be distributed from the beginning of October until June 2024.

For the first time in a long time, the youth of Gam filled the Gam Combined School hall while some peered from the windows to witness and enjoy a music bash.

Gam residents spent Christmas Day with Otjozondjupa Governor James Ureikua at a horse racing event.

Though the sun was extremely hot, residents parked their cars in reverse to sit and enjoy the horse race.

Otjozondjupa Governor James Uerikua, as part of the Christmas celebration and in heeding the call of sharing with and showing love to the less fortunate, has reached out to the inhabitants of Gam settlement with various activities.
