THE City of Windhoek is accelerating its electrification programme, with 1 298 households across 12 informal settlements set to be connected to the electricity grid as part of efforts to improve living conditions and expand access to basic municipal services.

The progress was highlighted during site visits on Friday by Mayor Sakarias Uunona, Deputy Mayor Albertina Amutenya, councillors, City of Windhoek chief executive officer Moses Matyayi and municipal engineers, who inspected areas earmarked for electrification and received updates on the project.
