Housebreaking concerns in Swakopmund

On Tuesday a group of residents, mostly women and children in Walvis Bay's Kuisebmond area, were apparently left homeless after the owners of the land they were renting, told them they can no longer stay there because they want to start building flats on the property.

Die gebou het die Fashion World klereketting gehuisves en het op 20 Februarie vanjaar weens 'n elektriese kortsluiting afgebrand. Die gebou word sedert gister met groot plastiekvelle gebuffer om te verhoed dat die publiek met asbesstof kontak maak. Die gebou word ook afgesper om te verhoed dat persone die perseel betree en met asbes in aanraking kom. Hoewel daar reeds 'n maand verstryk het sedert die brand die gebou verwoes het, het daar eers
