In an effort to reclaim its title as the cleanest city in Africa, the City of Windhoek has officially launched the Mayoral Clean-up Campaign.

The City of Windhoek (CoW), with support from the European Union (EU), donated six cargo bikes to SME operators.

The bikes will be used to collect waste across the city for recycling and making necklaces, shoes, and clothing.

The initiative seeks to improve solid waste management.

To shape the future of vending activities in the Tukondjeni market, well known as Stop and Shop, the City of Windhoek engaged the vending operators in that area regarding their operations.

The city has instructed the Stop n Shop vendors to clean the marketplace by next Sunday.

The Windhoek Municipal Council has approved a five-year electrification plan aimed at addressing the backlog of 4,000 unelectrified erven in various informal settlements.

While the quote goes, Water is life, for many living in informal settlements, access to water is a daily struggle they have to face. 

Recently, the City of Windhoek received calls from residents complaining about thick smoke eminating from the Kupferberg dumping site.

The smoke resulted from offloading of materials, which created a chemical reaction that caused the fire.

The City of Windhoek is facing severe water scarcity, and a 15% water-saving target has been set for all residents in the city. 

The capital city has been facing drought since July, and the municipality has resorted to enforcing strict water savings measures that came into effect on Sunday. 

The unwillingness of Windhoek's informal settlement residents to sign lease agreements with the city has delayed the completion of electrification projects.

Windhoek Mayor, Queen Kamati, revealed this during the council meeting. 

The City of Windhoek is conducting a diverse feasibility study for the development of a non-motorised transport network, which includes walking and cycling infrastructure, in Windhoek.

"You are the first responder, but who responds to you?" These were the words of the Mayor of Windhoek, Queen Kamati, to the City Police and NamPol before the night patrol. 

Kamati commended the police for their unwavering commitment to maintaining law, order, and safety in the city.
