Farming communities in the Omaheke Region have shared their concerns with President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, pointing to the conditions they believe are holding the sector back.

Residents of Aminuis in the Omaheke Region gathered on Sunday to pay tribute to the late Headman Petrus Mbaha, who died three decades ago.

Most rural constituents in the Omaheke Region are in need of better service provision, such as health, water, sanitation, education, road upgrades and income-generating projects to improve their livelihoods.

The communities shared this during the governor's office outreach programme. 

The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, James Sankwasa, has called for cooperation from stakeholders to decentralise their functions and services.

The Okorukambe Constituency Office in the Omaheke Region has aided residents at Omitara Settlement with material to begin income-generating activities. 

The office also assisted three local schools with modern technology, all to a combined value of N$200,000. 

A team spearheaded by the governor of Omaheke and the police regional commander has proposed a number of remedies to ease tribal tensions that flared recently at Otjinene.

The Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Land Reform applauded the farming communities in the Omaheke Region for demonstrating a strong commitment to advancing grassroots agricultural transformation. 

The killing of an Otjinene resident has reignited long-forgotten tribal tensions in the community.

A senior traditional councillor in the Hoveka Traditional Authority is bemoaning a lack of ownership towards community projects by the locals in the Eiseb areas.
