The Okahandja Municipality has signed a contract with Central North Electric Distributor in which the municipality has a 60% and Cenored 40%.
Cenored chief executive officer, Mburumba Appolus said the idea and concept of the joint venture between Cenored and Okahandja Municipality is to enhance the lives of those living without electricity in the town.
