Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>MTC and Development Workshop Namibia, through a land and housing programme, are accelerating the delivery of low-cost land for housing with the servicing of 282 plots in Stampriet in the Hardap region.<\/p>\n

The Oniipa Town Council was first to benefit with at 113 plots handed over to its residents last year.<\/p>\n

After Stampriet, plans are in progress to extend the same development to the towns of Okakarara and Otjiwarongo, Omaruru, Ondangwa, Okongo, Rehoboth and Rundu.<\/p>\n

So far, Okakarara and Otjiwarongo are making steady progress, with over 707 plots earmarked for Okakarara and 483 for Otjiwarongo.<\/p>\n

All plots are earmarked for ultra-low-income earners market, and consultations between DWN, local authorities and residents are ongoing.<\/p>\n

MTC spokesperson Tim Ekandjo stated: \u201cAddressing the land and housing issue in Namibia requires smart collaboration and deliberate intervention; thus, through DWN, we intentionally avail N$1 million yearly to enable the programme to expand to other towns, such as Lu\u0308deritz, Swakopmund, Omaruru, Ondangwa, Okongo, Rehoboth and Rundu.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe effort is to curtail and redress the increase of shanty settlement while contributing to creating a land ownership economy. Initially, the programme planned to deliver 1 585 plots, but that number has now been increased to 1 941,\u201d added Ekandjo.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2021, MTC\u2019s Land Delivery Programme through DWN is a three-year long programme, aimed to address the issue of landlessness in selected towns by availing and delivering affordable land to low-income earners through DWN.<\/p>\n

It is designed to enable one to acquire at least a 300 square metres piece of land at a reasonable price as low as N$15 000, pay it off over a 12-month period, own the title deed to the land \u2013 and with that certificate, gain access to financing for the construction of his\/her home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Namibian population continues to grow, resulting in more residents demanding for housing. To this effect, the government has re-doubled efforts to provide access to housing for all citizens. However, joint efforts are essential because the government alone cannot remedy the land and housing issue,\u201d expressed Ekandjo.<\/p>\n
