THE Windhoek City Police along with elements of the Namibian Police had to intervene to bring a large group of land grabbers that threatened to get unruly about being thrown from land that they claimed as their own, under control.
The land grab follows a few days after the Mayor of Windhoek, Job Amupanda from the Affirmative Repositioning movement and other councillors from the coalition led city council visited informal settlements that were severely affected by flash floods last week.
During the site visit, the possibility of relocating people and allowing those that are forced to rent rooms and shacks in the informal settlements in and around Windhoek to settle on unserviced land was discussed.
