The Outjo Municipality is expanding the existing open market to accommodate more vendors who usually sell on the sidewalks.

Outjo is a town of more than six thousand inhabitants and is best known as the main gateway to one of Africa's largest national parks, Etosha.

The Outjo Municipality has drilled three more boreholes in an effort to address the water shortage in the town.

For the past four years, the underground water in Outjo has been going down as a result of subduction.

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.
