The Windhoek City Council is currently executing a five-year plan to provide adequate ablution and sanitation facilities in the city's informal settlements.

Under the plan, a total of 1,620 pit latrines are set to be completed.

Affirmative Repositioning Movement councillor on the Windhoek City Council, Dr. Job Amupanda, has tabled a motion aiming to empower and establish a framework for councillors to advocate for development.

Windhoek City Council will hold a special meeting this Thursday to elect new office bearers.

The municipality has been without a Mayor, Deputy, and members of the Management Committee after some councilors chose not to participate in elections late last year.
