The City of Windhoek is blaming poor road conditions on the Road Fund Administration (RFA), saying it has received less than 10% of the money needed to maintain the roads over the past five years.
The RFA says it gave the city almost N$1 billion for “road infrastructure and traffic law enforcement initiatives” for the past three years.
City chief executive Moses Matyayi told The Namibian on Wednesday that the city does not charge road users for using roads, and it relies on the RFA, which collects road user charges.
“To date, the city has repaired more than 80 000 potholes and rehabilitated over 60 000 square metres of damaged road surface, despite ongoing resource constraints and the impact of adverse weather conditions,” he said.
