The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) has condemned the burning of tyres at the Walvis Bay Landfill, saying such action poses serious health risks to people and animals and compromises air quality.

The settlement of Epukiro Post 3 in the Omaheke Region has been plagued by mosquitoes in recent weeks due to stagnant water in the area. 

Residents of the settlement have expressed concern about the health hazard if the situation is not promptly addressed.
