Municipality improves residents’ living conditions
Extension of Police barracks
Construction of build-together houses
THE Mariental Municipality is hard at work at
improving the living conditions of residents, especially those living in informal settlements.
According to the acting chief executive officer at
the council, Catherine Boois, millions are spent on
the servicing of erven.
“We have received N$10 million under the Targeted Intervention Programme for Employment and
Economic Growth (TIPEEG) which we have used
on the servicing of erven. Another N$2 million was
also used on the servicing of low-cost houses, and
we now wait for another allocation from TIPEEG.”
She also pointed out that Mariental is part of the
mass-housing project, adding that officials of the
National Housing Enterprise (NHE) already visited
the town to familiarise themselves with the erven
situation.
“We have not yet officially been informed how
much money we will receive, but Mariental is definitely part of this project, which will run over 17
years. This is all part to improve the living conditions of the residents, especially those in the informal settlements,” said Boois.
Other exciting developments are also underway
in Mariental, with new businesses that will open
their doors soon, or existing ones extending their
operations.
“Woermann Brock will be situated next to the
Municipality and the construction of this business
will start soon,” said Boois.
