Health leaders asked for almost twelve billion dollars to run hospital care next year. The money helps replace old machines, add special doctors, and keep medicine flowing to sick people. Officials want to create better ways to buy needed items over five years, making sure clinics never run empty. They plan better storage places for medicine with new tracking systems that show when they run low before it happens.
The current supply service reaches only 57 percent of needs, but should grow to 80 percent with these changes. Extra care rooms for very sick patients will open in Gobabis, Mariental, Rundu, and other towns across the land. Special baby units will also grow bigger to save more little lives during dangerous times. More...
Windhoek town leaders agreed to spend 17 million dollars on new street lights downtown. The money comes from city savings set aside for big fixes. Workers will install lights over the next two or three months. They start with main streets like Independence Avenue, Sam Nujoma Drive, and Post Street Mall first.
The city wants safe, pretty streets where shops make money. Old lights no longer work well enough for a modern city center. Better lights help people feel safe walking at night, and bright streets keep bad people away from stores. The plan makes downtown look nicer for visitors from other places.
Walvis Bay town leaders admit to service problems after people complain about dirt issues. Trash piles up as trucks break down across many streets. Youth groups ask for quick fixes as sewage spills near homes. The town office sends crews to help clean mess points each week. They buy help from outside workers until July, when new garbage trucks arrive.
Sewer pipes need repairs, which have already started in streets like Mars and Sandwich. People stuff wrong things down drains, making old pipes burst faster. Heavy rain made problems worse as water flooded through town areas. Road holes appear everywhere from big trucks driving daily routes. Fix teams patch the streets, but need more hands for all the broken spots.
The town asks people...
Over 1000 fishing workers plan to march through Windhoek after creating a joint group. They met yesterday at Walvis Bay with union leaders to discuss poor work conditions. The workers claim they feel tricked by the government program meant to help them. Fish worker Matheus Gabriel wants employees to handle fishing rights instead of companies that mistreat them.
Workers say different companies divide their efforts as they all face similar problems. They want to set their fair wages themselves without secret deals from current unions. Julia Mbuiti claims the government treats program workers unfairly, with no basic pay guaranteed. Many fishers work without earning regular money despite earlier promises of stable jobs.

Reporter Ephraim Banda found criminals moving people from Mzimba to South Africa without papers. These smugglers put women at risk of harm, abuse, or death during travel. Several travelers have already died trying to cross borders through hidden paths. Malawi faces a growing problem as local transport groups break the law every day.
Poor job chances push many toward these risky trips despite the dangers. The government must stop these networks through police checkpoints on main roads. Border guards need to work better with South African police to catch smugglers. Village chiefs should warn families about these dangers before more people disappear. Everyone must speak against these illegal rides that harm innocent people.
Leaders must...

New CCC leader Tshabangu wants Zanu PF's help in creating a team government. He hopes they stop voting for two years after the courts canceled past group leaders. His speaker, Mlilo, tells reporters that elections waste time. People have lived through many fights about tallies with bad results for money matters. The team asks to wait until 2030 for the next ballot marking.
Mlilo believes pausing votes helps fix cash problems across Zimbabwe. The group aims to discover answers rather than fight more battles. Their main goal focuses on talking between parties instead of rushing toward election dates. They see delayed voting as part of larger talks between rivals. Five disputed votes left the nation struggling with poor economic growth.
Zimbabwe courts will decide tomorrow if two men stay on death row for killing seven-year-old Tapiwa Makore. The boy died in September 2020 when his uncle with the same name teamed up with farm worker Tafadzwa Shamba. They cut the child into pieces after killing him. Dogs ate parts of his body the next day. His head remains missing.
Both men say they never killed him despite earlier confessions from Shamba, who told details about the murder. They claim Judge Mutevedzi made mistakes finding them guilty. The uncle argues he stayed away when the child died. He tells the courts that no solid proof connects him to the crime scene. The uncle says Shamba lied about him helping with the awful act.
Their lawyers argue black plastic bags found...
