A fire that broke out last night at Shoprite Outapi Town Square was still burning this morning. 

The cause of the fire is unknown.

Eyewitnesses said the fire started around 21:00 from inside the store. 

Outapi Town Council has upgraded its five informal settlements and has lined up development projects this year.

The Council will construct phase one of the water reticulation infrastructure at Outapi-extension-18, at a cost of N$1.1 million, and provide water at extension-13, costing another N$1 million.
