Rundu, Aug. 30 — Mashare constituency consists of a large number of communities that have been developing fast over the past 30 years since the country became independent.
The constituency that stretches from about 10 kilometres east of Rundu to the borderline between Shambyu and Gririku communities. The development of Mashare can be attributed to local businesses that have made a huge difference in this constituency.
One of the businesses that contributed to the development of society is Kashuta which is located at Katimba, 28 kilometres east of Rundu.
Sinkanda Athanasius, a worker at the market, said the business had brought relief to the villagers as none have to waste money going to town when the products they want are in our store.
He further said that people should take an example of what this store stands for because it has become the anchor of this community. He urged the people to stand up and do something that contributes to community development instead of waiting for the government to do something for them.
Another store attendant at Utokota Inn Kamulu Hileni said echoed Atanasius’ sentiments that people must not wait for the government to always do everything for them but should use their hands to do something that will contribute to the development of the community and the country.
As a seller at Vema Mini Market no one, even the government, will take people seriously if they don’t take themselves seriously. She urged the small businesses in the community to continue pushing for the development of Mashare through bringing goods and services to the people – email: ariesbernhold21@gmail.com
