Residents of Okahandja's informal settlements are protesting against the municipality's alleged failure to respond to longstanding grievances.

Residents demand better service delivery, land delivery, and the provision of pre-paid water metres.

The Promised Land informal settlement residents claim that they have presented various petitions to the Okahandja municipality, but the appeals have been falling on deaf ears.


The group's spokesperson, Seth Gariseb, says councillors only know the residents when it is voting time, after which they are called illegal residents.

The demonstrators claimed that they were denied prepaid water points.

The mayor of Okahandja, Kauna Hangula, received the petition.
