The Otjiwarongo Municipality has launched its 'roads and resurfacing' project for several pothole-ridden roads around town.

The Road Funds Administration will fund the N$92 million project, which will see the Libertine Amadhila tar road stripped down and repaved.

Residents in the Goreangab settlement in Windhoek have taken it on themselves to cover up potholes in Eveline Street. 

The volunteers say that although it is not an easy job, it provides them with some income, which enables them to put food on their tables.

The rainy season that brings hope for water and food security also comes with some disruptions, especially for motorists in urban areas.

Potholes seem to be emerging on almost every street in the capital, costing drivers thousands of dollars for vehicle repairs.

The rain often brings with it many benefits like water security and agricultural development.

However, it can also have a negative impact, as it often leads to damage in road infrastructure.

Motorists at Otjiwarongo are calling on the local municipality to fix potholes that they say are damaging their vehicles and slowing down their business.
