President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has urged Namibians to use cultural traditions to unite the country, rather than divide its national identity.

Dr. Nandi-Ndaitwah emphasised that preserving languages, customs, and heritage is essential for community building. 

Namibia's housing backlog has surpassed 270 thousand units, while more than 200,000 households are now living in informal settlements across the country.

The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, James Sankwasa, has taken note of a rise in demand for affordable, serviced land in urban areas, particularly in Windhoek, and is thus considering viable solutions to the ongoing housing crisis.
