Community Development Worker and activist Rosa Namises has called on the City of Windhoek to allow citizens to explore and utilise unoccupied municipal areas to positively showcase the landscape.

Namises made the call following what she termed unfair treatment by the City of Windhoek employees when they demolished a temporary shade structure where Namises and her children were camping at farm #Goas.

About 1,000 inhabitants are currently living on the 8,000-square-metre farm.

Activist and Director of Women’s Solidarity Namibia say that though Namibia ranks 8th on the World Economic Forum's list of countries that have managed to close the gender gap in leadership positions, we should still strive to empower women on the ground.

Namises made these remarks during an interview on Touch FM’s Big Breakfast on International Women’s Day.
