Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The Oshakati Town Council plans to create more than 3 000 temporary jobs through housing construction contracts with various small and medium enterprises in town.<\/p>\n

According to Oshakati mayor Leonard Hango, the council is currently servicing Oshakati North Extension 11 and 12, which comprises 256 erven.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf 256 erven, 90 erven will be allocated to 30 upcoming developers. Each developer will build three houses, subject to the conditions set,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

He said, over the years, such jobs were given to well-established contractors \u2013 and for that reason, no developers or company that was already allocated by the council via the developer\u2019s system will be considered.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to create jobs in our town; we want everyone to work and put something on the table. In return, these SMEs are going to recruit other people,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Hango indicated the developers would be given beneficiaries from the waiting list.<\/p>\n

He said the purchase price would be N$264 per square metre as per the resolution by the standing committee, planning, own engineer, finance and the office of the CEO.<\/p>\n

He said the erven would be transferred directly to the beneficiaries and not to the developer to avoid extra costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeneficiaries will also sign a deed of sales with the department of planning and properties, and not the developer,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Hango also said the developer will offer a variety of house plans to the beneficiaries and not stick to one house plan for all.<\/p>\n

He mentioned the developer should comply with the Labour Act and adhere to the conditions of employment.<\/p>\n

The mayor indicated that once the developer finished with paperwork and start the construction, completion of the project will be limited to six months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe completion certificates will be issued in the name of the company allocated the erven to develop by the council,\u201d said the mayor.<\/p>\n

Hango further explained council has been flooded with upcoming local SME developers, who always wanted to be accorded the opportunity to develop houses for the clients on the waiting list.<\/p>\n

The council has allocated contracts to several developers since 2014 \u2013 and as the first project of its kind, it yielded positive results for the town.<\/p>\n
