Rundu residents have called on the government to make land available to build decent houses.

They shared this sentiment with the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Urban and Rural Development and Land Reform.

Those who attended the engagement were very vocal about their housing needs.

Some Walvis Bay residents have rejected a proposal by the municipality to introduce shack levies.

Walvis Bay is confronted by a high demand for serviced land, which the council is struggling to provide. As a result, there are reportedly thousands of residents who live in backyard shacks.
