Breadcrumb
Swakopmund Mayor Dina Namubes says the town faces a major housing crisis due to rapid urbanisation and a growing slum population.
Namubes says new and targeted approaches to affordable housing are needed for the town to make cities inclusive, spur economic growth, and expand job opportunities.
The DRC informal settlement is one such settlement that sprang up in 2001, where shacks built with corrugated iron sheets and carton matchbox shelters house more than 20,000 people without basic sanitation or property rights.
