Hamunyera Hambyuka Takes Charge as New Governor of Kavango East: A New Chapter Begins
In a momentous transition, Hamunyera Hambyuka has officially assumed his role as the governor of Kavango East, bringing a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to the position. Formerly the chief whip of the SWAPO Party in the National Assembly, Hambyuka is already hitting the ground running in this vital leadership role, eager to foster unity and progress in the region.
At the welcoming ceremony, Damian Maghambayi, chairperson of the Kavango East Regional Council, called upon the community to embrace this new era with open arms. “Let’s work together with our new governor. I urge everyone to set aside any divisions and focus on the unity of purpose that will drive the progress of our region,” he expressed, underscoring the importance of collaboration and constructive dialogue in achieving their shared goals.
While some social media reactions highlighted concerns regarding Hambyuka’s background, there is a shared optimism for a productive partnership. Former governor Bonifatius Wakudumo, who officially handed over the responsibilities, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve over the past five years. Under his stewardship, the region witnessed significant advancements, particularly in education and healthcare access. Wakudumo reflected on the successes achieved during his tenure, noting improvements in school infrastructure and key health campaigns aimed at enhancing community wellbeing.
Now, as the new governor, Hambyuka is ready to build on these achievements. “I have lived and worked in this region and understand its unique challenges and opportunities,” he remarked. He intends to continue the development programs initiated by his predecessor to benefit the citizens and uplift the region as a whole. His commitment is not just to lead, but to serve with dignity, fostering a cooperative spirit among all stakeholders.
Recognizing the potential of “Team Kavango East,” Hambyuka emphasized that true progress requires collaboration across the community. “This is a daunting yet fulfilling task. It’s not just the governor or the councillors; it’s all of us working together to change the economic fortunes of the region,” he stated.
Hamunyera Hambyuka’s appointment is seen as a promising step towards enhancing service delivery and ensuring a brighter future for Kavango East. As community members rally behind their new leader, their collective hope is that this new chapter will bring fruitful developments that enhance the quality of life for all residents.
