In an effort to improve the lives of Okahandja residents, the town's municipality has launched a five-year strategic plan.

The strategic plan aims to provide basic and affordable service to residents, and accelerate land and housing delivery as well as water provision to the residents. 

The plan includes granting 5,000 families security of tenure, while 705 families will receive erven.

In addition, it will also bring infrastructure and institutional development.

The |Khomas Regional Council officially kicked off its business today.

The regional council described the year 2023 as a success, saying they were able to improve the living standards of its people in the region by accelerating regional socio-economic development through intersectoral collaboration and community participation. 

The Chairperson of the |Khomas Regional Council, Shaalukeni Moonde, says a number of projects were earmarked for implementation in the last quarter of the 2023–2024 financial year.

The Outjo Municipality says it continues to be challenged in terms of water provision in the town due to low water pressure.

Mayor Johannes Bapello delivered his 2022 mayor's report at Outjo.

Bapello reports that the water level has been declining due to poor rainfall, and as such, the council has embarked on drilling new boreholes and plans to deepen existing ones through the 'Droom vir Outjo' initiative.
