Gobabis municipality is owed N$61 million for water and electricity

The Gobabis municipality is owed N$61 million for water and electricity by residents, private companies and government agencies.
This was revealed by the town council’s spokesperson, Frederick Ueitele, in a recent interview. Ueitele says the municipality currently disconnects services, especially water and electricity, to residents who do not honour their financial responsibility towards the town council. According to Ueitele, the council resolved some time back to give preferences to pensioners within the community by granting them lower tariffs than those paid by other residents in the town.
