Ondonga Traditional Authority spokesperson Enkali Frans said they are planning to maximise their harvest

Ondonga Traditional Authority spokesperson Enkali Frans said they are planning to maximise their harvest by growing maize meal to assist their people during the drought season. Frans said it is only the government that tries to assist the nation when disaster strikes, hence the need to plan to reserve some food for difficult times. The traditional authority, he said, currently does not receive any financial income from the government so they sell some maize at a lower price to bring in some capital to run its administration, including paying for their workers. Frans further pointed out that they do not get enough from the village houses payment of N$20 every year.
