The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, Erastus Uutoni, has inaugurated a N$1,8 million settlement office funded by the Erongo Regional Council at the coastal settlement of Wlotzkasbaken.

Wlotzkasbaken is a settlement about 30 kilometres north of Swakopmund.

It is a holiday settlement predominantly occupied by white people since colonial times, when the land was leased to holiday makers, who used it as an angling spot.

Over 100 plots were surveyed and laid out in the late 1960s, but development here has been slow.
