MICT engages Otjombinde community

Zebaldt Ngaruka GOBABIS – Community members in the Otjombinde constituency have decried serious communication challenges, mainly caused by recurring power outages in the area. The concerns were raised during a recent stakeholder engagement hosted by the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Otjombinde earlier this week. Among those in attendance was Chief Kaituu Tjozongoro of the Ovambanderu Traditional Council, who said the engagement was vital and expressed hope that an amicable, lasting solution would be found.

“Our main concern here is electricity, as all forms of communication are linked to it. People are suffering and losing electronic devices due to regular power outages in the constituency,” he said. Tjozongoro said there is no Cenored electricity station in Otjombinde, and residents rely on assistance from officials based in Gobabis.
