A community fight broke out at Dordabis after a group of disgruntled residents at the small settlement decided to illegally occupy land and put up structures. 

It is a divided community, led by a divided Community Development Committee.

One side says the wait for land and services has been too long.

The others insist that Namibia is a country governed by law and maintain that the current government is doing all it can to speed up land delivery.

Dordabis is under the jurisdiction of the Windhoek Rural Constituency. 

The |Khomas Regional Council has started to reach out to rural areas with drought relief food supplies.

This is the first time the community has received food relief since COVID-19.

The Windhoek Rural Councillor, Piet Adams, says the objective of drought relief is to build a caring society.

“We want to restore some dignity in the lives of our people; the effects of poverty are more than just missing a meal. Families struggle with chronic food insecurity, hunger, and malnutrition. When families don't have food, their livelihood suffers."

Residents of Groot Aub in the Windhoek Rural Constituency have called on the police to intensify their visibility in the area.

This was revealed at a meeting between the police and the community held at the settlement.

There are more than 500 criminal cases recorded at Groot Aub in 2022 alone.

Gender-Based Violence, assault, attempted murder, rape, theft, domestic violence, house and business break-ins, as well as stock theft, are common criminal offenses faced at Groot Aub.

Windhoek Rural Councilor, Piet Adams, has assured Mix informal settlement residents that a primary school will be opened in the area over the next three months.

Adams' assurance came after community members pleaded with the government to open up a school, stressing that their children are denied an education due to the lack of school facilities in the area. 

The school, which was constructed in 2017, could not be opened due to a lack of water and electricity.

The partially built school has a block of three classrooms, an office, and toilet facilities.
