Question

What are the developmental roles of Traditional and local government leaders in Namibia?

Answer 1

Their leaders are entrusted with the allocation of communal land and the formulation of the traditional group's customary laws. They also take over minor judicial work. Leaders and their administrative staff are not paid by the state. Traditional leaders control vital resources such as land and play a very important role to any service delivery and development strategies to be implemented in the rural areas.
