The |Khomas Regional Council has donated building material to four families whose dwellings were gutted by fire in Havanna last week.
The material, which was handed over by the Councillor of the Moses ||Garoëb Constituency, Stefanus Ndengu, consisted of 60 iron sheets, 30 poles, and 12 pines.
About eight shacks and a repair shop burnt down in the Havanna Settlement at about 15:00 on Saturday in Oshakati Street, leaving more than 50 people homeless.
The fire has left a devastating impact on the residents in the area, as they have lost their homes and properties, with only rubble remaining.
Incoming councilor of the Moses ||Garoëb Constituency, Stefanus Ndengu, says he is ready to tackle service delivery-related matters in the community.
The Swapo councilor who won the bi-election earlier this month says he has an "open door" policy and advises community members to reach out.
Stefanus Ndengu of the Swapo Party emerged victorious after garnering 2,970 votes in the Moses ||Garoëb Constituency by-election last night.
The politician, though promising change, faces a mammoth task of service delivery as a large part of the constituency remains without basic municipal services.
