All office-bearers at the Nkurenkuru Town Council have been re-elected, the chief executive officer (CEO) of the town council, Petrus Sindimba has said.

Sindimba told Nampa on Monday that Marcus Muti was re-elected as mayor for a second term, deputised by Fani Kaundu. A swearing-in ceremony was held on Friday.

Sindimba further said Angelius Liveve was elected chairperson of the town council’s management committee for a one-year term, with Robert Katura and Lina Kaveto completing the management committee, while Agatha Muhepa and Andreas Katanga remain ordinary members of the Nkurenkuru Town Council.

Muti said Nkurenkuru will continue to implement socio-economic development programmes aimed at enhancing the well-being of its residents.

He believes residents of the town and the council can work together to reverse the effects of some of the social ills affecting them.

“Sources of concern in the town are the high rate of unemployment, particularly among the youth; teenage pregnancy; the HIV/AIDS pandemic; orphans and vulnerable children; the Covid pandemic; and alcohol abuse. Affordable housing, water and electricity provision remain at the top of the council’s agenda,” Muti stated.

He called on his fellow Swapo council members to work together to continue developing the town of Nkurenkuru.
