Kalkrand without electricity since Sunday Residents of Kalkrand in the Hardap region have been without electricity since Sunday due to damage to electrical infrastructure caused by extreme weather. The Namibia Power Corporation (NamPower) in a media statement on Tuesday said the temporary disruption is due to broken poles on the power lines caused by extreme weather, affecting Kalkrand and surrounding areas. “NamPower wishes to inform customers and the public at large that Kalkrand 33kv regulations are experiencing power supply interruptions since 6 April 2023,” it says. The statement further says recent heavy rains have made it difficult to access the affected power lines, significantly slowing down the restoration process and causing delays in service recovery. NamPower said it is committed to resolving the issue as quickly as possible. The public was advised to treat all power lines and electrical points as ‘live’ during the power outage, as no prior notification will be given when the power supply is restored.

Kalkrand flood victims to receive three-month food assistance following severe rainfall Residents of Kalkrand settlement in the Hardap region will receive food assistance for three months. This was announced on Tuesday by prime minister Elijah Ngurare during the first session of the eighth parliament of Namibia. “We have made tents available and will provide food assistance to the affected households for a period of three months,” he said. According to the preliminary assessment report by the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), with the help of the Kalkrand Village Council, Ngurare said many homes at Kalkrand were severely damaged by heavy rainfall the previous night. “As a result, 722 households were affected, with the Five Dollar location being the most impacted area due to its exposure to climate conditions. Electricity poles are exposed, and pipe bursts have resulted in water interruptions,” he said. The prime minister indicated that the government is collaborating with the Ministry of Health and Social Services to ensure access to healthcare. He said roads and infrastructure have been destroyed, leading to the closure of schools. The heavy rain, he said, lasted almost the entire night, severely impacting residents’ livelihoods. Ngurare said they will continue to monitor the situation. Affirmative Repositioning leader Job Amupanda advised that a complete report on the whole country is needed, as Kalkrand was not the only area affected. He believes this will provide a clearer picture of which areas require assistance.
