The Katima Mulilo Town Council has started with the realignment of plots at the Dairy Settlement as part of the formalisation of the residential area. 

The formalisation process and mapping of the settlement started last year, and 1,206 people already received plots. 

The Chief Executive Officer of the Katima Mulilo Municipality, Raphael Liswaniso, said residents who got plots are starting on a new slate free from debts.

He added that the town council will not charge anyone for sewage services without pipelines, but rates and taxes. 

The Mayor of Katima Mulilo, John Ntemwa, urged the recipients to start building houses.
