The Erongo Regional Council, through its Constituency Development Fund, allocated machinery and equipment valued at about N$350,000 to close to 30 upcoming smaller entrepreneurs from Arandis and Henties Bay.

The Walvis Bay Municipality is reserving 33 hectares of land at Farm 37 for the town's Backyard Tenants Group.

This comes in the wake of the group's petition, handed over to the municipality in February this year.
