The fire that ravaged several shacks at Walvis Bay last night has prompted residents to make fresh demands for serviced land. Families on Khomas Hochland Street were left destitute last night after a shack fire ravaged their homes and belongings.

The victims, who say they were traumatized by the blaze, spent the whole day cleaning the area. Diana Murumbua stressed to nbc News that the outbreak of shack fires is usually a result of congestion, and there is a need for municipalities to speed up the delivery of plots.
