President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah warned that rising disputes between local authorities and residents are slowing service delivery and weakening public trust. Speaking Saturday at the opening of the 18th Helao Nafidi Business Expo in the Ohangwena region, she urged honest, urgent cooperation and said dialogue should guide problem-solving that affects local development.
Nandi-Ndaitwah highlighted Helao Nafidi’s role as a gateway to Angola and said the expo helps build cross-border trade and regional ties through the movement of people, goods, services, and knowledge. She called for better relations along all of Namibia’s borders and asked citizens to back that goal through words and actions. The president emphasized support for entrepreneurs and small businesses as drivers of sustainable growth and described the expo as a place to share ideas, form partnerships, and open new opportunities.
