Ministry of Health and Social Services executive director Ben Nangombe has urged mourners and sympathisers attending memorials for president Hage Geingob to implement Covid-19 prevention protocols. Nangombe said this given the fact that there are Covid-19 cases being reported, particularly at Rehoboth in the Hardap region, and that mass gatherings of people are super-spreaders of Covid-19.
Hardap education director Gerhard Ndafenongo is calling for more qualified teachers to apply for Afrikaans and Khoekhoegowab teaching positions in the region.
