Burning Concerns
Public Health Risk at Landfill Site Contradicts Climate Ambitions
The persistent burning of tyres and other waste at the Walvis Bay landfill site has once again ignited community concern, this time in the context of Namibia's national climate obligationsandpublichealthpriorities.
In an email to the Walvis Bay Municipalitythisweek,Namib Times posed the followingquestion:
“Given Namibia's ratification of the Paris Agreementanditscommitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 91% by 2030, including actions that address local sources of air pollution, what specificstepsistheMunicipality of Walvis Bay currently taking to monitor, prevent, and respond to illegal burning of waste (including tyres), in order to protect public health and uphold our national climate obligations?” The Municipality responded with a press release on Thursday acknowledging that burning does occur at the landfill and is being “deliberately set by Continues on page 2

This article highlights a contradiction between Namibia's stated climate commitments and the on-the-ground reality of ongoing tyre fires at the Walvis Bay landfill. It does not allege wrongdoing by any specific official or institution but aims to raise public awareness and invite accountability on matters of environmental and public health concern.

individuals who scavenge at the landfill site.” They clarified that these fires are unauthorised and that many are located in areas “difficult to access with firefighting equipment,” which hampers timely intervention. The press release further outlined measures the Municipality has taken to date, including:
Engaginglegalservices to initiate the eviction process of individuals illegally occupying and operating within the landfillsite.
· Conducting joint site visits with the Namibian Police Force, during which individuals were cautioned and urged to stop burning tyres and other material. On these occasionstheindividuals werealsourgedtorefrain from other illegal activities.
Surveying the affected area to better understand the extent of the occupation and its impact on
landfill operations and publicsafety
Communicating with relevant stakeholders about the serious challenges posed by this illegal activity, including environmental, operational, and safety concerns.
· Engaging relevant ministries, in an effort to find amicable and sustainable long-term solutionstothismatter.
While these efforts reflect municipal-level action, they stop short of outlining concrete monitoring or prevention systems aimed specifically at air quality, community health impacts, or Namibia's international climatecommitmentsunder theParisAgreement.
A separate request for information was also submitted to the Ministry ofEnvironment,Forestry andTourism, specifically the Directorate of Environmental Affairs on Monday this week,
asking what nationallevel regulatory or enforcement mechanisms are in place to ensure that local landfill practices in Erongo comply with the Environmental Management Act and the Paris Agreement. As of our publication deadline, no response has been receivedfromtheMinistry The issue highlights not only the environmental and public health implications of unchecked fires at landfill sites, but also the broader challenge of aligning local realitieswithglobalcommitments.
Residents have long complained about the suffocating smoke that drifts into their homes, especially at night, leaving many unable to sleep with windows open, and children and the elderly vulnerable to respiratoryissues.
The Municipality concluded its statement by askingforpublicpatience
and understanding while it works toward a solution.
The press release concluded,“Itisimportantto notethattheissueismore complex than initially anticipated and will require coordinated intervention from multiple government authorities.
The Municipality remains committed to resolving this matter in a manner that protects public health and the environment, while also taking into account the broader social and economic context in which it occurs. In the interim, we appeal for the public's patience and understanding as we continue to address this sensitive issue with the urgency and care it deserves.”
However, smoke continues to billow, and residents are left wonderinghowlongtheywill have to wait, and who will be held accountable inthemeantime.

Farm 37 Project Lays Foundation for Real Change in Walvis Bay
Eileen van der Schyff
The groundbreaking of the Farm 37 Housing Project marked the start of something bigger than bricks and roads on Tuesday this week. It signaled a shared commitment to uplift families, restore dignity,anddeliveronthepromiseofinclusive,affordableliving.
Under the national Mass Informal Settlements Upgrading Programme, Farm 37 is one of the largest housing initiatives the harbour town has seen. Set to become a well-serviced neighbourhood offering homes, opportunity, and hope, this first phase will see the construction of 200 houses at the “Proper Portion” of Farm 37, easing overcrowding and giving local familiessecurelandtenure.
Speaking at the event, Erongo GovernorNatalia/Goagosescalledit“anew chapter in our journey toward sustainable development and economic growth,” and stressed,“it is a social developmentinitiative.”Withgovernment allocating N$600 million for housing across the country in the 2025/26 financial year, N$75 million of which is earmarked for Farm 37's Phase1,andN$6millioncomingfrom the Municipality of Walvis Bay's budget, the investment is a firm statementthatchangeisnotonlycoming. It has already begun. In her welcoming address, Deputy Mayor Saara Mutondoka reminded the community why this moment matters. “We are building not just houses, but homes and futures,” she said in light of the urgency felt by so many since the tragicTwalolokafire,whichleftovera hundred families displaced and one lifelost.
Theprojectstandsasaresponsetothat devastation and a commitment to never return to those conditions. Both leaders emphasised that Farm 37 is part of a bigger, carefully aligned vision, one that fits into the Swapo Manifesto's Priority Area 7, National
Airline now operates two daily flights between OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and Walvis Bay International Airport. Flights depart Johannesburg at 10:20 (Flight 4Z141) and 14:05 (Flight 4Z143), while return flights from Walvis Bay depart at 13:40 (Flight 4Z142) and 17:25 (Flight4Z144).
According to Air Connect Namibia, the new flight schedule is expectedtostrengthenregional connectivity and bolster economic activity in the Erongo Region. Walvis Bay serves not only as a gateway to popular destinations like Swakopmund, the Namib Desert, and the Namib-Naukluft NationalPark,butalsoas
DevelopmentPlan6(ND-P6),andUN Sustainable Development Goal 11, which calls for sustainable, inclusive cities.
Councillor Deriou Benson, delivering the keynote on behalf of the region, outlined how Farm 37 was earmarked to relieve the pressures of overcrowded backyards and informal settlements.“Thisisaboutrestoringdignity We want children to grow up in safe spaces, we want families to have access to clean water, to proper roads, toopportunity,”hesaid.
Beyondshelter,theprojectalsoaimsto boost the local economy. All contractors are required to hire localunskilled and semi-skilled workers from within the Farm 37 community, a directive issued by the Council to ensure residents benefit directly from the homes and from the work and skills that go into building them. Municipal CEO Ms Victoria Nelago Kapenda and her team have already engaged temporary workers to kickstart the water infrastructure groundwork. Contractors, now active on-site, are expected to each construct at least six units as part of this early momentum. The housing comes with essential services, water, sewerage, and road infrastructure. Deputy Mayor Mutondoka also emphasised the importance of collective effort, “let us work together to ensure the success of this project, creating a brighter future for all residents of Walvis Bay.” Governor /Goagoses issued a powerful reminder to all service providers, “approach this project not from a place of profit, but fromaplaceofpurpose.”

It is a strategic link that reinforces Walvis Bay's role as a Southern African trade, investment and tourism hub,” said Bisey /Uirab, CEO of the Namibia Airports Company (NAC) and spokesperson for Air Connect Namibia “The commitment demonstrates the continued successes of Air Connect Namibia, and what effective public-private collaboration can achieve in ourcountry.”AirConnect Namibia is a public-private air service development initiative launched

Lions Reflect on Year of Community Impact
Eileen van der Schyff
TheWalvisBayLionsClubgatheredonFriday,27June,tomarktheclose of the 2024/2025 Lionistic year with a celebratory evening filled with reflection,recognition,andrenewedcommitmenttoservice.
Held in true Lions spirit, the event brought members together to honour milestones and pay tribute to the individuals whose tireless contributions have keptthespiritofservice alive within the community The club officially reinstalled its office bearers for a second term, reinforcing confidence in their leadership and the continuity of their mission.
A particularly touching moment of the evening was the presentation of abelatedcertificateand service pin to Lion Gabriela Teleman, honouring her 20 years of dedicated service. As she approaches her 25th year as a Lion, her long-standing commitment is seen as a cornerstone of the club'slegacy “Gabriela has been a beacon of whatitmeanstoserve
with consistency, humility, and heart,” said David Koch, President of theWalvis Bay Lions Club. “Her contribution spans decades, and we are truly grateful for the foundation she's helped build.”Recognitionwas also extended to Lions Bianca Lotriet and Janetta van Heerden, who received tokens of appreciation from the presidentfortheirfiveconsecutiveyearsofservice
as treasurer and secretary “Thesearetheroles that keep a club running quietly in the background. Without their reliability and dedication, our ability to serve would be severely limited,”Kochsaid. Theclubfurtherhonoured past presidents Gabriela Teleman, Frank Scholtz, Chris Bruyns, and Riaan Lotriet, each having served multiple terms. Their leadership notonlyshapedthelocal club but extended into broader service within Lions International Certificates of appreciation were awarded to Lion Sharon Roodt and Altus Viljoen, in recognition of their ongoing contributions throughout the year “Every bit of service, whether public or behind the scenes, moves us forward,” said Koch. “It's important to celebratethosewhogive their time generously, withoutexpectation.”
The pinnacle of the eveningwasthepresentation of the prestigious Louis Volks Award to Lion Paul Dalton, who was named Lion of the Year for his extraordinary work on the club's mobility project. When he took over the project,theclubhadjust three working wheelchairs. Today, thanks to his relentless effort, the club has 34 in active use, with many more permanently donated to those in need. “Paul's work is not just technical, it's deeply human,” Koch told the Namib Times “He repairs lives as much as he repairs equipment. Whether it's fixing beds in old age homes or restoring mobility for someone who thought they'dneverwalkagain, Paul does it with grace and quiet determination.” Koch also extended a heartfelt thanks to Lion Suzette Dalton, whose steadfast supportofherhusband's efforts continues to multiply the impact of the mobility project across the region. “This has been a year of growth, generosity, and unity,” he said. “We've deepened our roots in the community and witnessed the power of dedicated service.
