The director of rural Water Supply and Sanitation Coordination in the Kavango West region, Ricardo Sikongo, has expressed his regrets for the hardship faced by residents due to the non-functional boreholes in the area.
In response to the ongoing water crisis, he has encouraged residents not to rely solely on the government but to take an active role in resolving the issue.
Calikawo, a village located 53km inland from Tondoro in the Tondoro Constituency, has been grappling with a water shortage for nearly a month.
The persisting extreme heat in the northern region has had severe consequences, affecting both the local residents and their livestock.
Notably, the borehole in Calikawo remains unrepaired, with an estimated cost of N$3,200 required to fix it.
Sikongo acknowledged the unfortunate delay in conveying the urgency of this matter to the villagers.
