THE Omaruru Residents Association (ORA) organised a peaceful demonstration that will take place today to inform the Mayor of Omaruru, Vincent Kahua, as well as the Omaruru Municipality\u2019s Management Committee and Department Heads about the residents\u2019 concerns regarding the town\u2019s management.<\/p>\n

The ORA Chairperson, Frikkie Engels, emphasised that this has nothing to do with politics, but is simply an effort to raise awareness about the challenges facing Omaruru residents. The demonstration, he said, comes a month after Omaruru residents from different ethnic and economic backgrounds came together as a \u201cunited front\u201d to discuss the challenges affecting residents\u2019 day-to-day lives.<\/p>\n

According to Engels, one of the most urgent problems is the town\u2019s inadequate sewage system, which he said has been a problem for years. He said that the unaddressed issue has resulted in the sewage ending up in the Omaruru River basin.<\/p>\n

He also mentioned that residents from Omaruru\u2019s Ozondje location are particularly challenge-ridden as the location is not only faced with a similar sewage problem, but also struggles with access to water, electricity and proper street lighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore we started talking to them (Ozondje residents), we didn\u2019t have an idea of how bad it is really at this stage in Ozondje. So, these people are up in arms, really, they are so so bitter,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Engels said that about 1 500 people intend to participate in the demonstration. The protestors will gather at 8:00 at the Ozondje location\u2019s taxi rank. From there, he said, they will march to the Omaruru River Bridge before going to the Omaruru Municipal building to hand over a formal petition to the mayor or his representatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have given the mayor two months to come back to us and to give us some feedback on the progress that he and his municipality has made,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Omaruru Municipality could not be reached for commentary at the time of publication.<\/p>\n
