Allexer Namundjebo

Plans for a new public hospital in Karibib have been announced following the publication of a land subdivision and rezoning application in the latest government gazette.

The proposal involves the subdivision of the remainder of Erf 153, Karibib, to create a dedicated site for the healthcare facility, which is intended to be donated to the government.

According to the gazette notice, the application aims to create a new site (Portion 1) for the development of a public hospital on land located east of Metro Fresh along Kapapu Road.

The proposed hospital site will be rezoned from “undetermined” to “institutional” to allow for the development of the facility and related infrastructure.
