The Tsumeb Municipality is preparing to increase water tariffs in July 2025 to cover the operational costs of its newly constructed water treatment plant, valued at N$36 million.

In response to the high cost of living, the Tsumeb Municipality has approved a budget of N$171 million for the 2023–2024 financial year.

The budget aims to strike a balance between residents' needs, future planning, and investments.

Endobo evictees who have been camping outside the compound since September 2022, are calling on the municipality to address them on the way forward.

Occupants of about 72 households were evicted from Endobo last year and 47 received plots from Tsumeb Municipality.
