The Walvis Bay Municipality has allocated approximately 2,500 plots to different housing schemes in the town.

Okahandja Mayor Beatrice Kotungondo gave an update on ongoing investigations into the killings that occurred in the town earlier this year and on the municipality's steps to improve public safety.

The Swapo Party has confirmed the nomination of businessman Kobus van Schalkwyk at Walvis Bay on the local authority list for the upcoming elections.

Otjiwarongo residents took to the streets in protest against imposed penalties for damaged water meters and irregularities in terms of plot allocation in the area.

Aggrieved residents claimed unfair penalties are being charged, of over one thousand dollars, by the municipality.

Urban and Rural Development Minister James Sankwasa engaged with local authority leadership at Gobabis, addressing a number of pertinent matters brought to his attention by the region's residents.

Walvis Bay Mayor Trevino Forbes has clarified recent comments he made about political sabotage within the municipality.

A group of about 12 temporary workers in the Department of Roads Maintenance and Storm Water at the Keetmanshoop Municipality have expressed dissatisfaction over what they term unfair treatment at work.

The group alleges incidents of harassment and bullying at the local authority.

Five people with disabilities applauded the Swakopmund constituency and municipality for donating plots to them.

Since 2013, the five beneficiaries have struggled to secure plots due to discrimination and limited access to economic opportunities.

The Okahandja municipality restored the town's water supply earlier this afternoon. 

The disruption was caused by a pipe burst on Thursday after the heavy rains, which damaged the town's main water supply line. 

Walvis Bay residents are mobilising themselves to legally fight the municipality over the Red Force contract.

The Red Force debt collection contract was reinstated last week after the matter between the Walvis Bay municipality and the debt collectors was settled in the High Court last week.
