Frustrated residents of Walvis Bay have petitioned the Minister of Urban and Rural Development, James Sankwasa, to dissolve the current municipal council over alleged poor service delivery and mismanagement.

However, the minister said the timing is not right to take such action.

The City of Windhoek has announced that it will hold the Municipal Council's elections on 1 December.

Positions of office bearers, including the Mayor and members of the Management Committee, will be for the year 2023.

The City Of Windhoek is tomorrow enforcing a resolution passed during a municipal council meeting in October to remove the statue of German South West Africa military officer, Curt von François, from its premises.
