Lightning killed three young children at Katenture village! Governor Julius Hambyuka rushed to comfort the heartbroken family Tuesday after the deadly strike happened April 2nd. The kids - aged just four, five, and thirteen - died instantly inside their grandmother's room when lightning hit. A fourth child, only ten years old, survived but remains hospitalized at Andara District Hospital.
Hambyuka told the grieving family that his office reported everything directly to President Ntudjama and Prime Minister Shigwedha. The government plans to help with coffins, food, water, and repairs for the destroyed room. Mukwe constituency leader Damian Maghambayi already delivered ten bags of maize meal plus a small tent after seeing how desperate their situation became. The poor grandmother lost absolutely everything - blankets, mattresses, and other belongings vanished along with her beloved grandchildren.
Maghambayi begged Namibians to step up with donations because the family survives purely through subsistence farming from their mahangu field. The disaster management committee confirmed that these villagers have zero resources to handle such a tragedy alone. The government declared that this situation demands immediate national assistance.
