The City of Windhoek has reassured Windhoek residents that the water is safe for consumption and everyday use.

This was said by the CEO, Moses Matyayi, during a media tour at the Gammams Water Care Works facility.

Monarch Lifeguard has reported that the coastal beaches in Swakopmund and Walvis Bay were generally calm during the holiday period, despite the large crowds. 

However, three tragic drowning incidents have renewed calls for stricter water safety awareness.
