The Nkurenkuru Town Council is faced with financial constraints that are slowing down the town's development process. 

Jafet Markes Muti shared this during his acceptance address as re-elected mayor of Nkurenkuru Town Council.

Mayor Gabriel Kanyanga says the pothole-filled roads at Rundu will soon be a thing of the past, as they are in the process of awarding a tender to repair them.

Kanyanga said this during a ceremony where he was re-elected as the town's first citizen.

Re-elected mayor Risto Kapendah says the demand for land at Arandis has become urgent because the town has become one of the fastest-growing centres in the Erongo Region.

About 30 residents of Aussenkehr, whose reed houses were destroyed by a fire two weeks ago, are still being housed in tents.  

The blazing fire displaced 57 households and claimed a life. 

The electrification of rural areas will be a main priority for the Otjozondjupa Regional Council in 2024.

The regional authority aims to electrify the Tsumkwe and Gam settlements first.
