Ndeshihafela Larandja of the Independent Patriots for Change will lead the political leadership of the City of Windhoek.

Larandja was elected today after several failed attempts by city councillors to elect its political leaders.

The Informal Settlement Upgrading Affordable Housing Pilot Project is about to reduce the housing backlog by 113 houses as construction begins.

The houses will be constructed in Windhoek's Greenwell Matongo Extension 4.
