Residents of Orwetoveni Extension 16 in Otjiwarongo will no longer be afraid to cross the river during the rainy season, following the construction of a bridge by the municipality.

Crossing the swelling river during the rainy season has put the lives of many people in danger, especially those of children.

About two years ago, the river claimed the life of an Otjiwarongo resident.

It was against this backdrop that the Otjiwarongo municipality decided to construct a bridge.

The residents are grateful for the bridge. 

Those residing on the other side of the river, including schoolchildren, will now also cross it without any problems.
