The Otjimbingwe Farmers Association is calling on the office of the Erongo Governor to extend the settlement's boundaries. They say the lack of land threatens their livelihood and that of future generations.

The association demands that the ownership of Farm Neu-Schwaben and Unit B be transferred to the Otjimbingwe Farmers Association so that it might be used as a conservancy for the benefit of the settlement community.

They say the increase in the farming population as a result of migration from other regions puts pressure on the already strained environment.
