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

Eight schools in the Aminuis Constituency received stationery and printing machines through the Omaheke Regional Council office.

According to Aminuis Constituency Councillor Peter Kazongominja, the donation will help smoothen the operations of the receiving schools.

Chief Hosea Kutako Primary School in the Aminus Constituency finally received a printer that will now save them time from travelling to nearby schools five kilometres away, courtesy of Metropolitan.

Omaheke Regional Council has resolved to support the development of irrigation systems in the Aminuis and Okorukambe constituencies to assist in food security efforts and improve drought resilience in the region.

A 170-kilometre stretch of road between Gobabis and Aminuis that has been upgraded to bitumen standards has been officially inaugurated by President Nangolo Mbumba.

The road directly links the Omaheke and Hardap regions.

Some residents of Aminuis have expressed dissatisfaction with the distribution of drought relief aid, which they believe does not adequately address the needs of people in the area.

Self-governance, education, health, and social services are some of the key pillars in advancing the interests of the Ovaherero people, which is part of the Ovaherero traditional authority's mandate.

Some traditional leaders in the Aminuis constituency are strongly opposed to the proposed mining of uranium along the Stampriet aquifer.

The leaders are of the opinion that they were not properly consulted in the matter.

The Ovaherero Traditional Authority faction led by Professor Mutjinde Katjiua has adopted various key resolutions at its Chief council meeting.
