SNAKE BITE: A 2-month-old baby was fatally bitten by a snake on Saturday night while sleeping with her mother at Oshinyola village, in Omakange.

Nampol Spokesperson Kauna Shikwambi said the mother felt her baby moving and inspected the bed.

“She saw a snake next to the baby and she removed the baby and informed her boyfriend. They killed the snake and went to look for help at the neighbors’ house to take them to the clinic. While they were on their way to the clinic, the baby died,” Shikwambi said.

ENDURING HARDSHIP: In the quiet village of Fumbe, nestled within the Mashare Constituency of Namibia’s Kavango East Region, Kapango Kavara, an elderly pensioner, endures each night on the cold, bare ground with her grandchildren.

For the past two years, this has been their reality. Inside her fragile hut, a rusting metal-framed bed sits unused in a corner.

Its hard frame offers no relief, only pain for Kavara’s aging back so she chooses the ground instead. She shares this life of struggle with her 44-year-old daughter and seven grandchildren, all of whom remain undocumented and out of school.

Here’s what the village development community member Marovu Louise Kayana had to say.
