The City of Windhoek has commenced with an impact assessment of Thursday's heavy rainfall, which caused flooding and stormwater runoff in several parts.

This follows about 70 millimetres of rain recorded in various parts, resulting in significant stormwater runoff, active river crossing and flooding.

Tsumeb municipality Acting Chief Executive Officer Frans Enkali has warned residents against unlawfully blocking stormwater drainage points, as such actions contribute to the increase in flooding incidents currently experienced in the town.

Residents of the Havana informal settlements have raised concerns over stormwater flooding their homes as a result of the ongoing Peter Nanyemba Road project. Those living near the road bear the brunt of the stormwater.
