Otjombinde Councillor Wenzel Kavaka is pleased with the progress made in developing the new settlement, Eiseb 10 Growth Point.

Developments include a livestock auction pen and the construction of an oxidation pond.

Eiseb 10 Growth Point is a remote area, but services are now reaching the community.

Kavaka says that given the good number of livestock in the area, the newly constructed auction pen will benefit farmers immensely and cut costs, as farmers had to travel more than 200 kilometres to the nearest pen.
