Residents of Otjitho Village in the Ruacana Constituency are facing a severe water shortage after their underground water supply dried up.

The situation has forced some residents to spend nights at the water point to get water when it becomes available.

The Omusati Regional Governor Immanuel Shikongo has commissioned a community prepaid water point in Olyonime Village, Ruacana Constituency recently.

The project is funded by the Omusati Regional Governor's Office at a cost of N$164,000.

The Deputy Minister of International Relations has said the Genocide Remembrance Day should not be viewed as a tribal event for the Ovaherero and Nama communities alone, but should be viewed as an event for all Namibians.

The Centre for Resource and Transformation has inaugurated the Ondjombo Lodge at Ruacana Constituency of Omusati Region.
