Africa-Press – Namibia. THE Namibian Revenue Agency (NAMRA) donated 1 147 items of varying agricultural equipment to the Oshana Region to be allocated to all 11 constituencies.
Oshana governor Elia Irimari officially handed over the donated equipment by NAMRA to his 11 constituencies as part of assisting the farmers in Oshana during the ploughing season.
According to the Oshana Population Census of 2011, the region has a population of over 170 000 people, with 158 pick handlers.
192 rakes, 227 shovels, 173 spades, 204 pickaxes and 193 picks were shared among the constituencies.
