The Chief Regional Officer of the Otjozondjupa Region, Agatha Mweti, has rubbished as false the claim that the council has not demarcated land to build houses since 2018.

At a media briefing, Mweti says the council is currently busy with informal settlement upgrades there.

Mweti explained that the land demarcation project aims to ensure that plots are numbered before they are allocated to residents.

Council is also in the process of entering into an agreement with the National Housing Enterprise to construct low-cost housing at the settlement.

In an effort to amplify the message of road safety, the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology joined the campaign to help spread the message, especially during the festive season.

In an interview with nbc News, Deputy Minister Emma Theofelus invited everyone to participate in road safety interventions.

In the midst of the rainy season and the Christmas season, Theofelus reaffirmed the government's commitment to the national road safety campaign and urged drivers to conduct checks and balances at home before hitting the national roads.
