The Chief Regional Officer of the Otjozondjupa Region, Agatha Mweti, has rubbished as false the claim that the council has not demarcated land to build houses since 2018.

At a media briefing, Mweti says the council is currently busy with informal settlement upgrades there.

Mweti explained that the land demarcation project aims to ensure that plots are numbered before they are allocated to residents.

Council is also in the process of entering into an agreement with the National Housing Enterprise to construct low-cost housing at the settlement.
