Thus, Uuvudhiya Constituency Councillor Timoteus Shivute said the area has faced challenges with a proper road network and water.<\/p>\n

Uuvudhiya constituency is situated in the southwest part of the Oshana region, with a distance of 90 km from Oshakati.<\/p>\n

Hence, Shivute told the inhabitants during a consultative meeting with farmers on Wednesday that they lack water, and their livestock are affected in the process.<\/p>\n

He indicated that the area faces a challenge of water shortage, and this year they have not received adequate rainfall to last them for the next rainy season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not even receive floodwater in our area for earth dams to be filled, posing a challenge for our farmers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also expressed concern about the threat to livestock in the area, saying farmers are losing their cattle, goats, sheep, and now also donkeys to criminals.<\/p>\n

Thus, Shivute noted that they need police services closer to the people in the area.<\/p>\n

Oshana Governor Elia Irimari, on his part, assured farmers that the government is working around the clock to bring desirable services closer to the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been having sleepless nights trying to tackle issues related to addressing service delivery needs in Uuvudhiya,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that they are addressing poor road networks, water scarcity, and implementing their veld fire mitigation plans.<\/p>\n
