The Mayor of Swakopmund, Dina Namubes, has emphasized that electricity serves as a catalyst for economic development and should be equitably distributed and supplied to all consumers within their respective regions.

Namubes said nine households were provided with electricity by the collaborative efforts of Swakopmund Municipality and Erongo Red.

After spending 24 years in darkness since the establishment of the DRC informal settlement on the outskirts of Swakopmund, residents now have access to electricity.
