Mirjim Kandjungu (42)
from Windhoek’s Ongulumbashe
settlement says
she will be voting in next
month’s elections. She
hopes this would bring
improved access to basic
services, like electricity for
all. The mother of seven,
who has been unemployed
for the past three
years, says she survives
by selling firewood and
kapana. The Namibian recently
noticed Kandjungu
along the Hereford Road
near Brakwater, resting
on her way home after
collecting firewood with
her one-year-old son on
her back. She said she
collects wood twice a
week and walks about
5km at a time.
