Amushelelo Calls for Action on Land Issues
By Kaleb Nghishidivali
Following the recent heavy floods in Windhoek, social activist Michael Amushelelo has called for the removal of all City Councilors, citing their failure to address critical housing and land issues.
Amushelelo highlighted the existence of numerous vacant houses in Windhoek, built under the Mass Housing Initiative of 2013, which remain unoccupied to this day.
“We have several vacant houses in Windhoek that were built through the Mass Housing Initiative in 2013. To this day, these houses and apartments remain empty,” he stated.
The activist expressed concern over the poor delivery of land services, forcing many Windhoek residents to construct homes in unsafe riverbeds. He accused the City of Windhoek (CoW) of deliberately delaying land service delivery to benefit property developers, flat owners, banks, financing companies, and corrupt politicians.
“This year, we must remove all the Councilors at the City of Windhoek and replace them with leaders who are genuinely prepared to speed up land service delivery,” Amushelelo urged.
Addressing criticism that individuals build in riverbeds out of their own choice, Amushelelo defended the affected residents, saying, “Some will criticize these poor people for building houses in riverbeds, but where should they build if they are not given land?”
He emphasized the importance of resolving the land issue in Namibia. “This year, we must seriously address the land issue and ensure that every single Namibian has a decent place to call home. That’s a basic right that has been turned into a commodity by greedy, selfish politicians.”

Kaleb Nghishidivali
Oshinyadhila No. 4 village residents in Oshakati East constituency has demonstrated the power of community spirit this festive season by coming together to construct a gravel road. The initiative aims to address a recurring issue of vehicles getting stuck in muddy conditions, especially during the rainy season.
The gravel road project, spearheaded by the residents, reflects a collective determination to improve their living conditions.
Speaking to this publication, Daniel Nelumbu, a senior resident, highlighted the importance of teamwork in achieving such milestones.
“We realized that waiting for external help might take time, so we decided to take action ourselves. Working together as a community allows us to solve problems faster and strengthens our bond,” Nelumbu said.
The project, which has drawn participation from villagers of all ages, is expected to enhance mobility and improve access to essential services. Residents expressed hope that their effort would inspire other communities facing similar challenges to embrace teamwork and self-reliance.
While the festive season is often associated with celebration, Oshinyadhila No. 4 has shown that it can also be a time for unity and meaningful contributions to community development.
Efforts were made to reach the office of the constituency councilor Abnel Shikongo but he wasn't reachable.
