A farmer in the Omaheke Region's Kalahari Constituency has been grazing his livestock in the national road corridors for the past four years amidst an ongoing disagreement with the owner of a family farm.

Donald Katjiuanjo said that he has approached all relevant stakeholders for land allocation, but nothing has come of it. 

He is worried about his livestock posing a threat to road users, while some have died after being hit by vehicles. 

"When we arrived here, we had close to 330 small stocks, but now we are down to about 200. Motorists have killed some of my animals, and the cattle are also at risk from passing trucks. Fortunately, none of the lives of Namibians have been lost so far, which is the only positive aspect in this situation," he said. 

However, Katjiuanjo is worried that if things don't change, it could result in a fatal car accident. "It could take just a moment for a vehicle to overturn because of the animals roaming on this busy road. Trucks are moving through here, and motorists are using the road. I feel helpless in this situation, so I am appealing to the government for assistance in finding space to keep all these animals."

Katjiuanjo said he has nowhere to go and will stay in road corridors of the Omaheke region. 

Omaheke governor Pijoo Nganate said his office is aware of Katjiuanjo's situation. He, however, said Katjiuanjo is not the only farmer in need of grazing land and advised him to apply for resettlement, like all others.
