Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>THE replacement of the Ogongo\u2013Oshakati pipeline has been hailed as a significant step toward addressing water challenges in the Omusati and Oshana regions.<\/p>\n

Omusati Governor Erginus Endjala described the groundbreaking ceremony for the Ogongo\u2013Oshakati Pipeline Project as more than an infrastructure upgrade; he called it a promise to the people\u2014a promise to secure access to one of life\u2019s most essential resources: water.<\/p>\n

Endjala emphasized that the project is not merely a technical endeavour but a symbol of hope and commitment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt represents our dedication to building a Namibia where every citizen, regardless of location, has access to clean, safe, and reliable water,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the project is the result of visionary planning, expert design, and collective effort involving communities, NamWater, and international partnerships, such as the one with KfW.<\/p>\n

\u201cWater is the thread that binds us all\u2014a resource that nourishes our bodies, supports our livelihoods and sustains our environment. From the dry plains of the south to the fertile lands of the north, water has always been central to our nation\u2019s story. This project embodies that story\u2014a story of resilience, innovation, and progress,\u201d Endjala said.<\/p>\n

Oshana Governor Elia Irimari highlighted that as part of the Oshana Regional Council\u2019s Strategic Plan for 2023\u20132025, the region has prioritized infrastructure development, particularly water-related projects, to ensure residents\u2019 access to potable water and to foster regional economic growth.<\/p>\n

He said that the pipeline replacement aligns perfectly with these objectives, making the project both timely and impactful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Oshana regional management has been actively engaging NamWater to find viable solutions to the region\u2019s water supply challenges. Through this process, the need to replace the Ogongo\u2013Oshakati pipeline was identified to better serve our communities,\u201d Irimari said.<\/p>\n

He added that NamWater, as a public utility, remains committed to achieving its developmental goals.<\/p>\n

Irimari stressed that the Ogongo\u2013Oshakati pipeline, constructed in 1978, has been a critical component of water infrastructure in Namibia\u2019s four north-central regions. However, its age and deteriorating condition have necessitated its replacement to meet current and future demands.<\/p>\n
