PRESS RELEASE: NKURENKURU WELCOMES FIRST EVER MTC MOBILE HOME Start// 26Th September 2017 – Windhoek PRESS RELEASE: NKURENKURU WELCOMES FIRST EVER MTC MOBILE HOME Start// 26th September 2017 – Windhoek - By long last Nkurenkuru, on 22nd September 2017, celebrated the opening of its first ever MTC Mobile Home in the town. The Nkurenkuru Mobile Home becomes the 34th store in the country and it will offer full range of MTC Services. The operating hours will be from, Monday to Thursday 08h00 until 17h00, Fridays from 09h00 until 17h00 and Saturday's from 08h00 until 13h00. The commissioning of the Nkurenkuru Mobile Home will also see it bring an end to back and from commuting to the town of Rundu, which was the only shop that provided MTC service in the entire Kavango region – before the division into two regions namely Kavango West and East. Following the formation of the Kavango West Region in 2014, MTC took a considered business approach in which it informed on our planners to start the necessary ground work of finding a space to set up a shop in the town, to serve the newly established region. “This very strategic shop, had it not been for the challenges we encountered in finding suitable premises it would have been a reality longtime ago in 2016, however we are glad to state that the residents of Nkurenkuru are now indeed part of the 081 family with their own shop. Added Ekandjo, the Nkurenkuru Mobile Home just like the Eenhana Mobile Home which opened its door last month rests directly in the company newest strategic outlook as underwritten by its 081Every1 project which seeks to ensure 100 percent population density network coverage in the next two years. Besides its own network of Mobile Homes, MTC also relies on dealers and over three-thousand small retailers who sell a diverse variety of MTC related services to a customer base of 2 million from their business outlets – thus providing an unmatched footprint of MTC services country wide. The Shop is located at the Matukuchila Complex, Shop No.5 and is manned by a staff of two. End// Issued by: Corporate Affairs Department .

    11111 Media Monitoring on Urban Development in Namibia Media Monitoring on Urban Development in Namibia is a service provided by Development Workshop Namibia (DWN), a Namibian NGO with a focus on sustainable urban development and poverty reduction. DWN is part of a world-wide network of Development Workshop (DW) organisations with centres in Canada, Angola and France, and offices in Vietnam and Burkino Faso. It was founded in the 1970s by three architect students in the UK and has been funded by non- governmental organisations, private citizens, and national and international development organisations. In Namibia, DWN’s activities focus on urban related research, effective urban planning for the urban poor, solutions to informal settlements, water & sanitation, and projects specifically targeting disadvantaged segments of the urban youth. Through 40 years of engagement on urban issues mainly in Africa and Asia, the DW network of organisations has acquired significant institutional knowledge and capacity and is well integrated in regional and international networks. The Namibian media provide an important source of information on urban development processes in the country, highlighting current events, opportunities and challenges. The media further provide insight into the different views and perceptions of a variety of actors, be it from government, non- government, private sector, and individuals that reside in Namibia’s towns and settlements. It is therefore hoped that DWN’s Media Monitoring service will provide insights into those different views, with potential use for a variety of institutions and decision-makers that work in the urban environment in Namibia. The Media Monitoring service is currently provided on a monthly basis and monitors the following newspapers: The Namibian, Republikein, Namibian Sun, New Era, Windhoek Observer, Confidente, and Informante.

  • Land Use in Kavango: Past, Present and Future
    Land use in Kavango: past, present and future John Mendelsohn RAISON (Research and Information Services of Namibia) February 2009 Summary The report provides an overview of the major uses of land in Kavango, while paying attention to processes that have driven the use of land and its resources in the past and those that are now most significant. The majority of people, the most intense use and greatest pressures on resources are along the Okavango River. Populations have grown rapidly over the past several decades as a result of immigration from Angola. The approximately 28,200 rural households largely use their land for low input-low output farming, but most of their income and food security comes from sources unrelated to agriculture. The government sees the River water as an important source of irrigation water to be harvested before it leaves Namibia, in so doing contributing to the assumption that Kavango can be the breadbasket for Namibia. Urban growth is substantial because increasing numbers of people seek cash wealth which rural livelihoods can not provide, and because a variety of economic activities related to sub-regional trade are based in Rundu and other towns. Communal tenure limits long-term economic development while also encouraging the exploitation of commonage resources. However, over one-third of open communal land is being privatized into about 540 farms allocated to several hundred individuals. Although agriculture – in the form of large-scale irrigation projects for cereals and traditional farming methods – is unlikely to offer useful prospects for future development, more intense cultivation of high-value products has potential.
