The difficult terrain forces farmers to spend their hard-earned resources repairing reatens timely access to emergency medical services.

Kunene Governor Vipuakuje Muharukua said that what may be an adventure for tourists is a daily challenge for residents, affecting service delivery. He stressed that poor road conditions could delay ambulances attending to pregnant women and people bitten by snakes, potentially putting lives at risk.

Muharukua acknowledged the region's infrastructure challenges but highlighted ongoing development plans, including the Epupa road. He also pointed to the proposed Cape Fria harbour, saying improved road infrastructure could unlock significant logistics opportunities for Namibia and the wider SADC region.

He added that the Roads Authority has assessed sections requiring urgent attention, although substantial funding is needed to make the roads usable.

As South Africa awaits the official announcement of election results at the IEC National Results Operations Centre in Midrand, Gauteng, the elections have exposed growing public frustration, voter apathy and shifting political loyalties.

South African international relations tu spoke to NBC News Acting Assistant Editor Lahia Hatutale from Thohoyandou in Limpopo about the political developments and their implications for the country.

Makatu says the gains made by the Democratic Alliance (DA) and ActionSA in metropolitan areas, together with the uMkhonto weSizwe Party’s (MKP) performance in KwaZulu-Natal, point to changing political preferences.

He cautions, however, that the DA’s gains may not necessarily represent a major increase in its support base, but could also reflect voter apathy, as many disillusioned citizens chose not to participate in the elections.

According to him, dissatisfaction with poor local governance, inadequate service delivery and unfulfilled expectations has contributed to the ANC’s declining support.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the political outcome, communities remain cautiously hopeful about the incoming administrations. There is also relief that the elections were largely peaceful, despite isolated incidents of violence and reported deaths.

He concluded that the real challenge for the winning parties will be to turn their electoral victories into tangible improvements in service delivery and the daily lives of ordinary South Africans.
