The City of Windhoek celebrated Fire Fighter's Day on Friday.
The day is meant to honor the men and women who often risk their lives to save others.
Whether it's an uncontrollable inferno or an emergency rescue situation, firefighters are usually the first to respond.
As a result, Fire Fighters Day is an opportunity to recognize those who go above and beyond to keep the community and its property safe.
The Mayor of Windhoek is expected to host a Christmas lunch for hundreds of elders as well as hand out gifts to the less privileged, starting this coming Friday at the Zoo Park.
The Head of Corporate Communications, Lydia Amutenya, announced the development in an interview with Good Morning Namibia.
The Christmas market is a platform created by the council as a platform for businesses to showcase their products and find innovative ways to generate income.
But how will the council ensure that there are sufficient feet on the ground to support the initiative?
The City of Windhoek has announced that it will hold the Municipal Council's elections on 1 December.
Positions of office bearers, including the Mayor and members of the Management Committee, will be for the year 2023.
The city is led by a coalition council, with LPM Councillor, Sade Gawa!nas as mayor and AR Councillor Ilse Keister as the chairperson of the Management Committee.
The council will elect new leadership at 14h30 in the Council Chamber on Friday.
The City of Windhoek held its last ordinary council meeting before it elects new office-bearers and closes off the 2022 calendar.
One of the activities, and the one that residents have been waiting for, is the appointment of the City's substantive Chief Executive Officer.
After a protracted and at times controversial recruitment process, the Council approved the appointment of Conrad Lutombi, who finally got the minister's blessing.
