Tsumeb residents who were evicted from the Endobo compound last year are still camping in makeshift structures.

In October last year, hundreds of Endobo compound residents were evicted due to non-payment of rent.

They have since erected makeshift structures, where they are embracing harsh weather conditions.

The number has now declined as some have moved to other places.

The dilemma is, however, that some of those whose names were given as the beneficiaries of plots from the municipality are unable to pay the N$4,600 required.

President Hage Geingob has stated that his remark about the construction of makeshift structures at schools was not a directive, but rather an example he had previously shared with a specific school.

During the opening of the first Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Dr. Geingob expressed concern over learners being taught under trees.

Addressing a media conference, Dr. Geingob clarified this and other issues.

These remarks have drawn both praise and criticism, especially among stakeholders in education.
