Walvis Bay is battling to maintain its roads and the high volume of international traffic, including trucks, transporting goods increases on the harbor town's roads.

This was highlighted by the town's Mayor, Trevino Forbes, during Council's first ordinary meeting.

 Forbes says the high volumes of international traffic, including heavy trucks, transporting goods have contributed to the roads being damaged. 

However, he says the burden of road maintenance and repair falls on the shoulders of the town's ratepayers.  

The Minister of Works and Transport, John Mutorwa, has expressed disappointment with the maintenance of roads in the Omaheke Region.

Mutorwa said this when he visited the Onderombapa-Aminuis-Aranos road to assess the progress made.
