During the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, many homeless people were moved to Khomasdal Stadium, as they had nowhere to call home during the lockdown period.
Although this was a temporary arrangement, to date these people remain there, enduring the harsh weather conditions that come with the rainy season.
The homeless community residing at the Khomasdal Stadium is currently facing a dire situation as their tents have been destroyed by the heavy rains received in the capital since Thursday.
The Board Chairperson of the welfare organisation Nest of Love, Vecius Tapiso, who, along with his wife, became homeless in 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic, has taken it upon himself to give back to the community. Today, Tapiso and his team provide meals to the homeless at Khomasdal Stadium.
The homeless living at Windhoek's Khomasdal Stadium also added their voice of remembrance for the late President Hage Geingob.
Like all the people spoken to during this time of grief, they found it difficult to comprehend his death.
The Namkid charity organisation held a fun day with the homeless people who are accommodated at the Khomasdal Stadium in Windhoek.
They were treated to and provided with a meal, hygiene hampers, and clothing.
The men were also given haircuts, while the women received different hairstyles.
