Residents of Otapatapa Village in the Otamanzi Constituency of the Omusati Region are pleading for urgent government intervention after a prolonged drought left the community without water for both people and livestock. 

Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare says Namibia is making progress in expanding access to water and sanitation but admits the country still faces significant challenges in reaching every community.

Dr Ngurare called for urgent improvements in service deliveries.

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Urban and Rural Development and Land Reform is in Gobabis, Omaheke Region, for a capacity-building workshop.

Works and Transport Minister Veikko Nekundi is pleased with the progress made on the Oshakati-Ompundja low-volume seal road in the Oshana region.

Plans are underway to clean up the area surrounding the floating bridge at the Sarusungu Border post on the outskirts of Rundu. 

The area has been an eyesore for locals and travellers alike.
 
The floating bridge connects Kavango East to the Angolan town of Calai.
