The Keetmanshoop-based Suiderlig Secondary School's fundraising dinner has raised more than N$800,000 for the renovation and expansion of the school hostel. 

Vice President Lucia Witbooi, an alumna of the school, was the guest of honour.

The High Court has overruled a decision by a Procurement Board Review Panel to nullify the bidding process for the supply and delivery of food items to government school hostels.

The decision comes as a result of a review application filed by the Minister of Education, Arts and Culture.

The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Nandi-Ndaitwah called on the business community to assist the government in building more school hostels.
