United Democratic Front (UDF) President Hendrik Gaobaeb has urged the government to accelerate the Mass Housing Project to tackle housing challenges and promote home ownership.

Gaobaeb said this during a courtesy call on President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah today.

The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, Erastus Uutoni, today visited the Mass Housing project site in Windhoek's Otjomuise Extension 10. 

The project, which includes 362 houses, was launched under the leadership of former President Hifikepunye Pohamba in 2013.
