The Oshakati Town Council, under the stewardship of town mayor Leonard Hango, has resolved to endorse the sale of a controversial 1.7 hectare prime land deal that has been in the courts to Mouse Properties Ninety Eight, owned by business mogul Erastus 'Chicco' Shapumba, which was sold then for N$2.5 million dollars, way beyond its market value.

The council this morning resolved to set the new price at N$5.6 million.

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism (MEFT) is offering 40 crocodiles for public sale in its efforts to mitigate the impact of crocodile conflict on communities.

In a press release issued on Wednesday, MEFT announced the public sale of 40 crocodiles in their efforts to minimise human-wildlife conflicts that have been occurring in the north-eastern regions of Kavango East and West and the Zambezi Region, where crocodile conflict has been a concern over the past few years.
