Local authorities implored to service land
The minister of urban and rural development, Sophia Shaningwa, has called on local authorities to allocate land for affordable housing.
Shaningwa made the appeal during the handing over of a house made of reusable polymer modular bricks to Windhoek resident Abel Phillip and his family on Friday.
The house in Otjomuise's Extension 7 was donated to the government by German company Polycare.
The minister urged local authorities to ensure that houses are affordable for or people in the low- and middle-income brackets.
“If the land prices remain high, then houses will never be affordable to the target groups,” Shaningwa said.
The minister further urged employers to help their employees to acquire land and build houses.
