City of Windhoek Communications Manager Harold Akwenye has clarified that relocating flood victims to Farm 508 was an emergency measure meant to protect those individuals from immediate flood danger.

Akwenye confirmed that officials are aware of the challenges in terms of basic services.
 
A mobile clinic has been set up as a temporary arrangement, while the municipality remains in discussion with health authorities on measures to improve service access. 
 
As for the area's vast distance from schools and shops, he said the City of Windhoek is working with social partners and national authorities to address this, including through transport support.
 
Akwenye reiterated that Farm 508 was not designed for permanent settlement and is a short-term solution to improve safety, lighting, and road access. 
 
The City, he said, remains in communication with residents through on-site meetings and correspondence with community leaders, relevant ministries, and remains committed to achieving long-term housing solutions for the affected families.
