Residents of Plakerskamp, a township in Karasburg, have raised concerns over a lack of basic services in their area, as well as increasing instances of crime. 

The area has no proper streetlights, leaving residents feeling unsafe and vulnerable, particularly at night.

Regional electricity distributor Erongo RED has joined forces with the Road Fund Administration (RFA) and the Roads Authority (RA) to install 24 streetlights along the Swakopmund River bridge.

The lights will be installed for N$4.4 million.
