The Keetmanshoop-based Suiderlig Secondary School's fundraising dinner has raised more than N$800,000 for the renovation and expansion of the school hostel. 

Vice President Lucia Witbooi, an alumna of the school, was the guest of honour.

Speakers at the University of Namibia (UNAM)'s 2nd Chancellor's Annual Charity Gala Dinner held in Windhoek have called for the inclusion of technology for students with disabilities.

These efforts, they say, will unlock the potential of all students, regardless of their circumstances or special needs.

Vice President Lucia Witbooi has urged young people to register and participate in the 25th of November's Local Authorities and Regional Councils elections.

The supplementary registration runs from the 4th to the 19th of August. 

Namibian war veteran Lazarus !Guiteb was buried in a sombre military send-off at his hometown of Otjiwarongo.

Aged 83, !Guiteb was accorded an official funeral by President Netumbo Nandi Ndaitwah, who described him as a hero of note.

The Presidency remains committed to transparency, and this has been the hallmark of Presidents Hage Geingob, Nangolo Mbumba, and Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah.

This view was shared by the former press secretary, Alfredo Hengari, in an interview with NBC News, as he hailed cordial relations with the media.
