The Swakopmund municipality officially opened the newly upgraded Ondjamba Street in Mondesa.The cost of phase one of the upgrade amounted to N$6.3 million.

Through strategic partnerships with dedicated contractors such as Paul and Lucy Investment, the project’s vision has now materialised with tangible results. Phases two and three of the project are yet to be announced.The road had become notorious due to the unsafe conditions for pedestrians and motorists that prevailed, and the municipality moved to address the long-standing safety concerns.
