Namwater donates textbooks and stationery to 10 schools in the Kavango West Region.

The donation is worth over N$667,000.

The mayor of Rundu, Gabriel Kanyanga, says the town is looking into taking over its electricity supply responsibilities as they are continuously disappointed by NORED.

Kanyanga referred to Rundu as a dark town because NORED would collect money from electricity buyers, while the town benefits the least.

Residents of Rundu are calling on the council to address the water crisis in the town. 

They made the call during the presentation of the 2024–2025 draft budget and tariffs.

Some of the residents who have taps said there has not been running water, while others say they have no water at all. 

The Kavango West Region has requested four additional constituencies to improve service delivery.

The proposal was handed to the Boundaries Delimitation and Demarcation Commission at Nkurenkuru during public consultation.

More than N$160,000 was raised during a fund-raising dinner for the construction of a hall at Faustinis Haididira Combined School in the Kavango East Region.

The Hambukushu Traditional Authority is against the proposal to have the border between the Zambezi and Kavango East regions shifted into some parts of the Mukwe Constituency. 

The Kavango East Education Directorate and stakeholders are requesting for a special school to be established in the region. 

The request was made during a consultation meeting with the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Human Resources and Community Development at Rundu.

Four schools in Kavango East's Mukwe Circuit have temporarily suspended classes due to lions roaming the area. 

Classes have been suspended for today and tomorrow; however, teachers and support staff members remain on duty. 

The Nkurenkuru and Ruacana Town Councils have stepped up cooperation between the two local authorities by renewing an existing memorandum of agreement.

The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, Erastus Uutoni, urged local authorities to refrain from collecting debt from their clients via third-party enforcers and rather educate residents on their services and their responsibilities to ensure such services remain available.
