Walvis Bay Mayor Trevino Forbes has clarified recent comments he made about political sabotage within the municipality.

A group of about 12 temporary workers in the Department of Roads Maintenance and Storm Water at the Keetmanshoop Municipality have expressed dissatisfaction over what they term unfair treatment at work.

The group alleges incidents of harassment and bullying at the local authority.

Five people with disabilities applauded the Swakopmund constituency and municipality for donating plots to them.

Since 2013, the five beneficiaries have struggled to secure plots due to discrimination and limited access to economic opportunities.

The Okahandja municipality restored the town's water supply earlier this afternoon. 

The disruption was caused by a pipe burst on Thursday after the heavy rains, which damaged the town's main water supply line. 

Walvis Bay residents are mobilising themselves to legally fight the municipality over the Red Force contract.

The Red Force debt collection contract was reinstated last week after the matter between the Walvis Bay municipality and the debt collectors was settled in the High Court last week.

The Community of Outjo is calling for the withdrawal of the re-advertised position for the municipality's Chief Executive Officer, claiming that the requirements were relaxed to suit the council's preferred candidate.

Members of the Nalitungwe Community Savings Foundation have become new landowners at Farm 37 on the outskirts of Walvis Bay.

The municipality has allocated them portion 12, which will need to be serviced. 

The lack of water is being felt almost nationwide.

Due to poor rainfall in the catchments, Gobabis residents will now experience water rationing.

This has affected water sources like Otjivero Dam, which supplies water to Gobabis.

Walvis Bay residents have demanded that the municipality remove RedForce as a debt collector.

The residents say their municipal debts have significantly increased while some of the houses were disconnected from the water supply by RedForce.
 

In an effort to improve the lives of Okahandja residents, the town's municipality has launched a five-year strategic plan.

The strategic plan aims to provide basic and affordable service to residents, and accelerate land and housing delivery as well as water provision to the residents.
