They have failed us on water. They have failed us in sanitation. They have failed us in healthcare. And they will continue to fail us, unless we stand together, united for change. This election is not about liking the leaders. It\u2019s about demanding respect as a citizen who enters a social contract with your government. It\u2019s about demanding service. It\u2019s about ensuring that the government works for the people,\u201d he said during PDM\u2019s rally at the Dr Romanus Kampungu sports field at Rundu.<\/p>\n<p>Venaani said Rundu and various Kavango East and Kavango West villages that are a stone\u2019s throw away from the Kavango River should not suffer from a lack of potable drinking water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a travesty that areas such as Ndama, Sunshine and Sauyemwa are facing critical water shortages. This is a crisis that was already predicted to happen way back in 2020. Water, my friends, is not a luxury. It is a basic human right, enshrined in our Constitution. Yet, many in this community still struggle to access it. Water shortages here are not just an inconvenience. They are a matter of survival,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>He seemingly then took a jibe at the ruling party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are running around with shirts and food. They are running around with everything, but why are they not running around about development? We want change. We want jobs. We want better schools and roads, as well as better sanitation. But we are getting t-shirts and drought relief,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>The PDM plans to ensure that every family has access to proper sanitation in their communities through their \u2018One Family, One Toilet\u2019 initiative.<\/p>\n<p>He said they will reduce the spread of diseases, ease the burden on the healthcare system, and restore dignity to people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not just an election promise. It is a commitment to the health and well-being of every Namibian. Furthermore, we cannot overlook the intolerable burden on our healthcare system, especially in these regions, when discussing healthcare. Namibia\u2019s healthcare system is in danger of failing,\u201d he stated.<\/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.
