A Career Fair at Rosh Pinah, aimed at providing opportunities to learners and the youth at the mining town to help them make informed decisions about career choices, was described as a success.

The event is a collaborative effort between RoshSkor Township, schools in Rosh Pinah, and institutions of higher learning.

Professionals and lecturers from UNAM and NUST engaged learners on their current career choices, while learners had the opportunity to pose questions during the one-day mini-career fair.

The Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) is compiling a report on lead exposure in the southern town of Rosh Pinah.

The ministry's public relations officer, Walter Kamanya, confirmed this to nbc News today.

Exposure to lead or lead poisoning can lead to brain damage, paralysis, and kidney failure. It may also affect the reproductive system while hindering growth and intelligence, especially among children.

According to the Africa Briefing website, 30 children in Rosh Pinah were found to carry lead in their bloodstream.

A man has been arrested at Rosh Pinah after allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl.

According to the Namibian Police, the teenager was looking for a ride from Rosh Pinah to Noordoewer. The 49-year-old driver, who is the suspect, then took the teen to his house, allegedly informing her that he was waiting for additional passengers who were scheduled to arrive from Oranjemund.

The suspect then raped the girl, according to the police report.

The suspect was arrested and detained at the Rosh Pinah police holding cells.

The proposal to proclaim Rosh Pinah a town is still ongoing.

Despite this, Oranjemund Constituency Councillor Lazarus Nangolo commended Government ministries and agencies for opening offices to provide much-needed services to the mining community.

The mining town of Rosh Pinah is situated in southern Namibia and is home to two mines.

Zinc and lead have been mined in the area since the mines opened 54 years ago.

Rosh Pinah forms part of the Oranjemund political constituency, of which Nangolo is a Regional Councillor.

The Roads Authority (RA) has announced that District Road 212 (DR212 - Aussenkehr to Rosh Pinah) is now open to all traffic.

This comes after the RA issued a notice in mid-February indicating that South Africa had experienced above-average rainfall, which had the potential to cause the Orange River to flood.

This, RA feared, would have an effect on some Namibian roads in the country’s southern region.

An earthquake measuring 3.3 on the Richter scale was recorded 184 kilometers southeast of Lüderitz in the ||Kharas Region.
