[2] The village is in the Ondonga kingdom[1] and under the leadership of Headman Tate Ananias.

[citation needed] The name Omeyantalala means "cold water"; the village name was derived from a long pan covering 4 km and it holds rainwater for the livestock and for human use during dry seasons.

The pan was and is still used as water point for farmers going to look for graze-land in the far north side of Kavango.

[citation needed] There are few shops in Omeyantalala only catering for basic needs but sometimes turn to be very expensive, and because the villagers are lower income earners and cannot afford expensive basic goods.

[citation needed] There is also a mobile clinic that assist with simple health issues.
