A house in the Katutura Central Constituency caught fire after it was struck by lightning last night.

Rain in Windhoek has brought relief to many but to some, it has caused distress.

The lightning struck a house on Philip Turimei Street and burnt down all belongings in the first room leaving the tenant in the house with nothing.

Charles Meroro, a representative from the Katutura Central Constituency office says, he is not certain about the type of assistance the constituency office will render to the affected individuals but he will discuss the matter at the council level.

Few good Samaritans and Archbishop Ismael Kasuto from the ST. Sakaria Mission Church donated blankets and clothes.

In addition, Charles Meroro urges community members and churches to offer donations of any kind.
