Steenkamp remarked on this during her visit to various schools in Swakopmund.
The Otjiwarongo Municipality unanimously approved the 2025/26 capital and expenditure budget of more than N$226 million at its special council meeting held here on Friday.
The council in 2024 tabled a budget of about N$144 million.
The Minister of Urban and Rural Development (MURD), Erastus Uutoni, has called for an impactful and sustainable rural development transformation.
As people leave rural areas in search of a better livelihood, towns such as Swakopmund are under immense pressure, and their capacity to deliver is a challenge.
