A community fight broke out at Dordabis after a group of disgruntled residents at the small settlement decided to illegally occupy land and put up structures.
It is a divided community, led by a divided Community Development Committee.
One side says the wait for land and services has been too long.
The others insist that Namibia is a country governed by law and maintain that the current government is doing all it can to speed up land delivery.
Dordabis is under the jurisdiction of the Windhoek Rural Constituency.
It is home to these residents, who, as a collective, say their parental homes have become way too small for them and their children.
A member of the now-defunct Local Development Committee, Patrick Jaarsak, says he has taken on the responsibility of allocating portions of land to community members who, at the time of the nbc News's visit, erected their structures there within the blink of an eye.
The group, led by Jaarsak, accuses the chairperson of the Local Development Committee of incompetence and putting her personal interests before those of the community.
But Roswitha Arie denies these allegations and emphasises that laws, processes, and procedures must be followed.
Six days ago, community members under Arie's camp disconnected an illegal water connection, which she says blocked others from receiving water from the provided tanks.
Arie's decision was criticised by some community members, who argue that, though the connection was illegal, it benefited some 150 residents of the settlement.
The illegal connection, which rerouted the water flow, and the subsequent cutting of the connected pipe have now resulted in the breakdown of technology placed underground, leaving the residents without water.
The Windhoek Rural Constituency Councillor, Piet Adams, confirmed to nbc News that he was aware of the land grabbing and that he was in contact with the |Khomas Chief Regional Officer.
The illegal grabbing exercise was halted after Adams agreed to a meeting with the community at 11 a.m. tomorrow.
