Former Miss Namibia, Cassia Sharpley, has returned to Namibia after participating in the Miss Cosmo International Beauty Pageant in Vietnam last week on Saturday.

Members of the Namibia Security Workers Union (NASWU) held a demonstration at Rundu, demanding national minimum wage compliance from employers.

The security guards submitted a petition to the Ministry of Justice and Labour Relations' regional head, Michael Kabwata.

Dam water levels have increased across key dams following recent rainfall in catchment areas.

Updated figures by Namwater indicate a positive response to recent precipitation with Swakoppoort Dam, which saw its water levels rise by 0.796 million cubic metres.

Low groundwater levels of boreholes have left farmers in the townland of the Aus Settlement struggling to secure enough water for their households and livestock. 

The Minister of Environment, Forestry and Tourism, Indileni Daniel, has urged the public to refrain from littering and to take shared responsibility for keeping Namibia clean during the festive season and beyond.
