Muyunda noted that they are appealing to the residents to be cautious at all times when making use of the river to avoid similar cases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call upon the residents to avoid undertaking activities that may risk their lives unnecessary such as swimming, washing or bathing while standing in the river,\u201d indicated Muyunda. The town was recently left without water for almost a weeks and residents resorted to fetching water from the Okavango River.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
