The Northern Regional Electricity Distributor (NORED) has electrified 50 houses that were recently handed over to the owners through the Shack Dwellers Federation of Namibia in the Zambezi Region's Bukalo village.

The electrified houses are part of phase one of an ongoing two-phase construction project.

Members of the Walvis Bay Backyard Tenants Association celebrated councils' approval to grant a large portion of land at Farm 37 to its members.

Farm 37 is an area on the outskirts of the harbour town, identified in 2015 as a solution to the towns' land and housing demands.
