to Ncuncuni and from there south-eastwards on road D3401 to Cuma.
The north-western corner of point A of the community forest is reached about 6 km from the turnoff
in Ncuncuni. The northern boundary follows the road D3401 to Cuma at point B and proceeds south-
eastwards along a bush road passing at point C until the fence of Matapi farm is reached at point
D. From there, the boundary continues south-eastwards to point E for about 8 km and meets with
the northern boundary of Ncaute Community Forest that marks the south-eastern boundary at point
F. The southern boundary extends for about 12 km and is at the same time the northern boundary
of Ncaute Community Forest. From the south-eastern boundary at point G, the western boundary
extends for about 13.5 km and meets again road D3401 at point A. All the boundaries are demarcated
and trees alongside are painted with yellow colour.

SCHEDULE
BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION OF GCWATJINGA COMMUNITY FOREST:

KAVANGO REGION
The Gcwatjinga Community Forest is located in the constituency of Rundu Rural west of the Kavango
Region and belongs to the Shambyu tribal area. The community forest covers an area of 31897ha and
is situated about 80km south of Rundu in the Omatako vally. It can be accessed on the gravel road
D3427 leading to Ncaute afterwards continuing on the small road D3425 leading to Kanovlei. The
community forest area is situated on the eastern side fo the Omatako between the villages on Gcigco
and Naingopo. The northern and the southern boundaries are demarcated and painted with yellow
colour. The road D3425 marks the western boundary. To the east Gcwatjinga Community Forest
borders the private small-scale farms demarcated for the Ministry of Land and Resettlement. Private
farmers will demarcate the boundaries when they establish their farms. Inside the community forest
exists a farm established in the colonial times which is not part of the community forest.
The north-western corner (point A) of the community forest is reached about 5.1km from Ncaute
where to bush road to Gcwasha turns off road D3425. Following the bush road to Gcwasha (point
B) is reached after 2.9km where another bush road diverts eastwards to a farm. The north-eastern
corner (point C) can be found after following the bush road for about 6.8km. The eastern boundary
of the community forest is at the same time the western boundary of the small-scale farms (each
approximately 2500ha) established and allocated by the Ministry of lands and Resettlement. Points
D to H are corners of these farms. From north to south the following farms have shared boundary
with the community forest: Farm No. 1563, No. 1562, No.1547, No. 1546 and No.1529. From the
south-eastern corner (point I) a cutline goes westwards for 17.3km until it meets again the road
D3425 at the south-western corner (point K). The southern boundary of the community forest is
also considered as the community boundary between Gcawatjinga and Ncushe. Road D3425 forms
the western boundary of Gcwatjinga Community Forest. Inside the community forest a private farm
was allocated in colonial times to the late Paulus Munangu. It is demarcated with poles and regarded
as private property by the owner and also the residents of Gcwatjinga. Therefore this farm (points
L to P) is excluded from the community forest. It covers an area of 2178ha. The whole community
forest covers an area of 34075ha including the private farm. That means that the area of Gcwatjinga
Community Forest extends to 31897ha.
