The lack of water is being felt almost nationwide.

Due to poor rainfall in the catchments, Gobabis residents will now experience water rationing.

This has affected water sources like Otjivero Dam, which supplies water to Gobabis.

The Acting Deputy Education Director in the Omaheke Region, Eliakim Kavari, has called upon learners to prioritise their education.

Kavari made this remark about last year's academic results, where the region remained at the bottom of the national ranking statistics. 

Gobabis Primary School is mobilising funds to construct an assembly hall. Currently, assemblies are conducted in the open.

The Operative Secretary of the Landless People's Movement (LPM), Dawid Eigub, says there is a need for the party to connect with all its members and establish the developmental challenges they face.

Eigub made the remark after an engagement with the community of Witvlei in the Okorukambe constituency.

The Ministry of Gender Equality, Poverty Eradication, and Social Welfare (MGEPESW) is reviving the regional Gender Permanent Task Force committee at Gobabis. 

Lack of value addition to the livestock subsector, inadequate access to potable water, poor network coverage, and rural electrification are some of the key areas that need attention to address regional development in the Omaheke Region. 

Some community members at Epukiro RC in the Okorukambe Constituency are requesting the former community council chairperson, Reinhard Morwe, and his team to hand over all documents, livestock branding equipment, and a financial report to the community, amongst others. 

In its efforts to bring police services closer to the community, the police have inaugurated a police station at Onderombapa in the Aminuis Constituency. 

The fully equipped station has a borehole, a water tank, and a vehicle worth N$6 million. 

The Omaheke Regional Council is aimed at improving the living standards of the local people through various interventions, such as employment creation and other capital projects. 

The community at Tsjaka in the Kalahari Constituency has acknowledged the government's efforts to bring development to the area's growth point.

Though there are agricultural projects, schools and electricity, proper provision of water, a clinic, and a police station remain critiqued.
