Omusati SORA to give hope

The governor of the Omusati Region says that his State of the Region Address (SORA) will not only look at problems facing the region, but he will also talk about plans aimed at tackling social issues.The governor, Erginus Endjala, who is expected to deliver his SORA on Friday, told Namibian Sun that all systems are in place.At the beginning of the rainy season, President Hage Geingob launched Operation Tulongeni at Matheus Iilonga's mahangu field at Onamundindi village in the Ogongo Constituency, in the Omusati Region. Endjala said the SORA is delivered at the end of the crop production period and it will give a comprehensive report on the Tulongeni initiative.“This year, our region is expecting a bumper harvest because of the success of Operation Tulongeni. Our SORA will highlight the idea of establishing our food bank. Farmers are expected to contribute to the food bank to feed the needy during tough times,” Endjala said.He also said his SORA will reflect on various economically viable projects that will create hundreds of employment opportunities throughout the region.“We will also report on the asparagus project at Etunda which has the potential to create 350 jobs. Trials which were done at Omahenene have already been completed. We are in the final stages of finishing a tomato production plant at Epalela that will also create employment. It is a prospect that creates jobs for our youth. The project is a breakthrough one, and currently we are having discussions with Nakayale Vocational Training Centre to become the workshop for government and private tractors that will be disseminated in our region.”All 12 constituencies of the region have benefited from the micro-finance assistance fund Endjala said, adding that his SORA is also expected to highlight the impact made by the scheme.
