Background

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has warned that bulk infrastructure across most Namibian towns and cities is nearing its limit, calling on local authorities to expand water and sanitation systems alongside new housing developments. Her warning comes as many towns, notably Rundu, Katima Mulilo and Okahandja, struggle with service delivery and regular interruptions and failures. She noted that growing urban populations are placing immense pressure on municipal water and sewerage networks. She stressed that any expansion of housing must be matched by immediate investments in bulk services to ensure new residential areas are adequately supplied.
