More than 500 cleaners at the City of Windhoek have vowed to continue demonstrating until their demands are met.

The workers claimed to have lost trust in their trade unions, saying they are tired of the back and forth with the management after numerous failed engagements.

With occasional but heavy rains experienced in the capital, the City of Windhoek has extended a call to the residents living in unsuitable and flood-prone areas to approach the city's Human Settlement and Disaster Risk Management Departments for relocation to higher ground.

Vendors running their informal businesses along the Hosea Kutako Drive in the Northern Industrial Area in Windhoek have moved to this location from Walvis Bay, Erongo Region, where the impact of COVID-19 devastated their enterprises.
