A land dispute in Katutura has brought construction to a halt after 80-year-old Sophia |Uises and Matti Shimwino clashed over land in front of Uises's home.

 |Uises claims she was denied the opportunity to buy the land by the City of Windhoek, which later allocated it to Shimwino.

The family of Ester Martin from Elyambala in Ongwediva are out in the cold after their plot was allegedly sold without their consent.

Attempts to appeal against the alleged irregular sale of land have failed.
The plot initially belonged to the late Riridis Kuutondokwa, who was Martin's mother.
