The minister of environment and tourism, Pohamba Shifeta, has announced that animals in national parks will be culled and the meat distributed to drought-stricken communities.
The current drought has been described as one of the worst in Namibia’s history. It affects more than 1.5 million people who rely on subsistence farming, while more than 500 000 people are food insecure.
The game cull in national parks forms part of the government’s drought-relief initiative.
