The Rundu Town Council has proposed a capital project budget of N$284,1 million for the 2025/26 financial year, marking a 15% increase from the previous year’s budget of N$245,995,825.

 

This was announced during a recent meeting between council representatives and residents, held in the Kavango East region.
