The Otjiwarongo Mayor has pleaded for patience with residents, as the municipality is busy addressing damaged roads in the town. 

Gottlieb Shivute made this plea at the town's community meeting, where some residents demanded that the council fast-track the repairs, as potholes are an eyesore and a challenge to motorists.

Shivute says the rehabilitation and maintenance of all residential road projects will commence in the first week of April. 

Residents of Okahandja's informal settlements are protesting against the municipality's alleged failure to respond to longstanding grievances.

Residents demand better service delivery, land delivery, and the provision of pre-paid water metres.

The Promised Land informal settlement residents claim that they have presented various petitions to the Okahandja municipality, but the appeals have been falling on deaf ears.
