Rundu to get 123 new houses

RUNDU – Housing projects should be implemented not only for the sake of providing much-needed houses, but to positively contribute to the socio-economic development of the country.This was said by the deputy minister of urban and rural development, Silvia Makgone, during the official ground-breaking of the construction site for 123 National Housing Enterprise (NHE) houses at Rundu on Thursday.Makgone said the ground-breaking signifies another milestone in government’s quest to house the Namibian people in decent shelter.“To us as a government, the construction of houses under the Mass Housing Programme and the servicing of land under the Massive Urban Land Servicing Project are not the only interventions being undertaken in the quest to reduce the housing backlog in the country,” she said.Makgone said taking into consideration the existing efforts made by the government, the challenges of housing and urban land delivery are not insurmountable - if the government, the private sector, and the community pull efforts and resources together to pursue innovative strategies.Housing developments such as these, the minister said, are important as they contribute to the realisation of the desired outcome as outlined in the social progression pillar in the Harambee Prosperity Plan.There will be direct and indirect employment during the construction period as well as economic development for Rundu and the entire country, she added.“The mayor and the local authority councillors will be pleased to have 123 houses constructed in Rundu as this will be revenue collection for them,” she said. - Nampa
