Windhoek City Council will hold a special meeting this Thursday to elect new office bearers.

The municipality has been without a Mayor, Deputy, and members of the Management Committee after some councilors chose not to participate in elections late last year.

City of Windhoek spokesperson Harold Akwenye says even though the municipality has been without office bearers for more than six weeks, the situation has not had a negative impact on the city's daily affairs.

The City of Windhoek will conduct a public survey on who or what should replace the statue of Curt Von Francois that was removed from its premises.

The City's Communications Manager Harold Akwenye said the public suggestions will be looked at once the new council is elected and that it will be a study process.

The statue has been relocated to the City of Windhoek's Museum.

"We want to rewrite the imbalance, we want to correct the history."
