		It is the only proclaimed town and administrative center of the Kavango region, and occupies the fifth place in Namibia in consideration of its population estimated at +/-45,000 people, representing 1/4 of the population of the Kavango region (201'000) (Namibia 1,83 Mio, 2001 Census).

		The Kavango leader, Mpasi, said the Ovambo cattle farmers had been allocated a 10,000 sq km tract of land in 1946, but had not stayed within the agreed boundaries and had encroached on Kavango land.
		Kavango Governor John Thighuru said five kraals as well as residential huts at many cattle posts had been burnt down, and most of the wells used by the Ovambo had been clogged with stones, earth and branches, when Kavango communities had rallied behind Mpasi to drive the Ovambo farmers from their land.
		However, some farmers have vowed to defy the government directive to vacate the Kavango region until land to graze their livestock is made available in the northwest.

		Sand and Water is a summary of information about the remote Kavango Region in northern Namibia where the Okavango River navigates its course from its catchment area in Angola to its delta in Botswana, one of the few places in the world where a large permanent river intersects a dry landscape.
		The book underlines the contrasts in the region, in particular the relatively easy life of subsistence farming alongside the river, as opposed to the challenges of surviving in the surrounding countryside.
		It investigates the constraints and problems of life in Kavango today and details the opportunities locals residents have evolving from small-scale subsistence farming to ranch ownership, and exchanging a traditional lifestyle in the hinterland to become part of the emerging phenomenon of urbanisation.

		The severe floods in the Caprivi Region, poor rainfall, a shortage of seeds and damage done to crops by elephants and birds have resulted in Namibia expecting one of the worst harvests this year.
