“It is very painful to live here where decent land and housing is hard to find.”
Namibia's cabinet has pledged about R470m to alleviate drought in the past year, though Dhila said he has yet to receive any assistance.
In January 2019, president Geingob declared the country's informal settlements a “human disaster” for their living conditions. As the slums in and around the area continue to expand, competition for land grows, intensifying demands on the city for housing, safety and sanitation. The programme will assign all informal settlements in the country temporary security of tenure to protect residents from eviction, she said in e-mailed comments.“Our interventions are aimed at turning the tables in favour of our residents and their much-needed basic amenities,” said Kahungu.
