A former homeless family of 11 at Walvis Bay is now the proud owner of a new three-bedroom house.

This is after the Walvis Bay Municipality and the Walvis Bay Rural Constituency came to the rescue of Johannes Hamutenya's family.

The community of Mpora village is up in arms after the Hamutenya family started developing a disputed piece of land at the village in Kavango West's Ncamagoro Constituency.
