Uplift the poorest: Amathila

NAMIBIA should give all the support it can to its hugely disadvantaged communities so that the country’s Vision 2030 becomes a collective programme involving and benefiting all citizens.

Vision 2030 aims to achieve an industrialised, developed Namibia by the year 2030. Speaking at the Oshikoto Field Day of Women’s Action for Development (WAD) held at Tsintsabis last week, Deputy Prime Minister Libertina Amathila called on traditional leaders and regional authorities to provide the necessary developmental support and assistance to the San community.”As a nation, we must urgently and vigorously address the socio-economic disparities caused by underdevelopment and exclusion.”This we can do by redoubling our efforts to expand the national economic base in order to accelerate the social and economic development for the benefit of all our people,” Amathila said.Members of the San community from the Bravo settlement near Tsintsabis were awarded for undergoing various training programmes conducted by WAD and the Agrifutura Training Institution, which were commissioned by the Deputy Prime Minister’s office.The training programme also included 20 school leavers from Tsintsabis.A hundred people were trained in various skills.Speaking at the Oshikoto Field Day of Women’s Action for Development (WAD) held at Tsintsabis last week, Deputy Prime Minister Libertina Amathila called on traditional leaders and regional authorities to provide the necessary developmental support and assistance to the San community.”As a nation, we must urgently and vigorously address the socio-economic disparities caused by underdevelopment and exclusion.”This we can do by redoubling our efforts to expand the national economic base in order to accelerate the social and economic development for the benefit of all our people,” Amathila said.Members of the San community from the Bravo settlement near Tsintsabis were awarded for undergoing various training programmes conducted by WAD and the Agrifutura Training Institution, which were commissioned by the Deputy Prime Minister’s office.The training programme also included 20 school leavers from Tsintsabis.A hundred people were trained in various skills.
