The National Housing Enterprise (NHE) loan book has grown from N$493 million in 2015 to N$1.6 billion now.

The NHE had experienced slow growth in the past seven years due to financial constraints, land tenure issues, the unavailability of serviced land, and property rights.

Employees of the Namibia Housing Enterprise (NHE) have voted in favour of engaging in industrial action.

Workers, represented by the Public Service Union of Namibia (PSUN) conducted a vote on whether or not to strike, with 90 percent of workers voting in favour.

Employees at the National Housing Enterprise are scheduled to vote on whether to strike or not tomorrow, after negotiations with management reached a deadlock. 

Delivering affordable housing remains a key government agenda item.

As such, the Minister of Urban and Rural Development, Erastus Uutoni, says his ministry avails millions of dollars towards the construction of houses to improve the living standards of Namibians.
