Breadcrumb

A group currently residing at an informal squatter camp in Windhoek's Freedom Square is requesting the government relocates them.

There are currently 26 shacks accommodating about 64 people; however, they are overcrowded, forcing some of the inhabitants to sleep out in open spaces, even during the harsh winter.

There are 14 vulnerable children here who do not get social income grants because of a lack of national documents.

Teresia Gaweses has lived here for 6 years and lives hand to mouth by selling recyclables to scrap yards.
