ON THE RADAR WITH DOLLY (16 DECEMBER 2024)
1. Namibia’s agriculture sector faces a severe setback, with a 57% decline in controlled agronomy production due to ongoing drought. This has led to a significant increase in food imports, straining the country’s economy.
2. Namibia is taking proactive steps to address water scarcity by developing a second desalination plant along the West Coast. This strategic move aims to enhance water security and support the country’s growing economy.
3. Namport is undergoing significant infrastructure expansion to accommodate the increasing demands of emerging industries such as oil, gas, and green hydrogen. This strategic investment positions Namibia as a regional hub for these sectors.
4. The OvaDhimba community is demanding immediate action from the government after their peaceful protest was met with silence. They are calling for recognition, transparent communication, and the resolution of their long-standing grievances.
