The hopes of many crop farmers in the Ohangwena region for a successful harvest have been dashed due to floods from Angola that have partially submerged their mahangu fields.

Residents, including children from Ohangwena Region's Onamhinda village, were relocated to higher grounds after their houses and mahangu fields were submerged by floodwaters from southern Angola.

Massive floodwaters from southern Angola hit northern Namibia on April 1, following heavy rainfall in the neighbouring country.
