The Governor of the Omaheke Region, Pijoo Nganate, said the absence of a chief within the Bakgalagadi community in the Aminuis Constituency has deprived that community of much-needed services.

The position was left vacant after the death of Chief Hubert Tidimalo Ditshabue in 2021.

The Bakgalagadi community met in the Aminuis Constituency to, among other things, discuss the succession plan following the death of their Chief Tidimalo Ditshabue about three years ago.
