Residents of Rundu have rejected NORED's tariff increase proposal of 3% for the 2025/2026 financial year.

The residents say the proposed percentages are high considering the challenges of unemployment.

Residents of Oshakati can breathe a sigh of relief as there will be no tariff increase for this financial year.

The announcement was made during the tabling of the council's 2023–2024 budget, amounting to N$214 million.
