RESIDENTS of Ohangwena have welcomed government’s decision to construct 13 new roads in the northern region. They say this will make it easy for them to access essential services such as clinics, hospitals, schools and shops.

Residents last week gathered at different sites where they met works and transport minister John Mutorwa and Ohangwena governor Walde Ndevashiya together with regional councillors.
