Continued copper wire theft is worrisome and hampering progress in Otjiwarongo's new Extension 12 residential area.

The Central North Regional Electricity Distributor's (CENORED) Corporate Communications and Marketing Officer, Charlie Matengu, says criminal rings are targeting vacant or foreclosed homes as they are a lucrative source of installed copper.

The Central North Regional Electricity Distributor (Cenored) and Omake Charity spent a day with parents and caregivers of children with cerebral palsy in Otjiwarongo. 

Cerebral palsy is caused by abnormal brain development or damage to the developing brain that affects a child's ability to control his or her muscles.
 
Taking care of a child with a severe disability without the means, be it resources or emotional support, can be stressful.
