Agriculture executive director Ndiyakupi Nghituwamata announced that the ministry will soon construct a meat- processing plant to the tune of N$35 million in Katima Mulilo.

Following public outcry among unemployed young people over the Namibian Defence Force’s mandatory health, academic, and age cap requirements for recruitment, the ministry hit back yesterday, saying the force should not be seen as a job creator.

The Grootfontein municipality is hard at work clearing N$140 million in debt, which accumulated over 10 years. 

The Grootfontein municipality has issued a notice for a disciplinary hearing on numerous charges of misconduct against its CEO, Kisco Sinvula.

Due to escalating poverty levels, young girls at Farm Uitkoms in the Otjozondjupa region are allegedly selling their bodies - sometimes for less than the cost of bread - to survive a hunger crisis ensnaring the community.

A director at the University of Namibia has been accused of making sexual advances “on numerous occasions” and promised promotions to women who report directly to him.

Farm Uitkoms has undeniably proven that marginalised communities can become self-sustainable in terms of access to potable water for agricultural purposes.

As the population of Farm Uitkoms grows, crimes and social ills such as poaching, stock theft and drug and alcohol abuse are skyrocketing.

The vast Otjozondjupa region is sitting on an emergency time bomb, with the health ministry’s fleet of cars in serious need of resuscitation.
