A payment dispute between community workers and a contractor has sparked tensions at Aasvoëlnes in the Tsumkwe Constituency following the completion of an elephant trench project.

The workers claim they completed the work and are now demanding the full payment as agreed upon.

A contractor has blocked a sewerage pond at Max Makushe Secondary School in the Kavango East Region due to what they regard as outstanding payments by the Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture.

The school has since suspended classes due to sewerage overflow.
