Sankwasa blames Windhoek residents of delaying road upgrades Erasmus Shalihaxwe Urban and Rural Development Minister James Sankwasa says some Windhoek residents are delaying road construction projects due to a lack of patriotism. Sankwasa made the remarks on Monday during the groundbreaking ceremony of Winnie Mandela Avenue in Windhoek. He said some individuals are refusing to relocate to allow construction to proceed, not because they have nowhere to go, but because they want to continue running businesses from their informal structures. In May, the Windhoek Observer reported that business owners along Peter Nanyemba Road, formerly Monte Christo Road, urged the City of Windhoek to revise parts of the ongoing road upgrade project, claiming it is severely affecting their operations. The N$381 million project, which began in April 2023, is still under construction. “We need development. Money is made available, contractors are appointed, but contractors don’t finish on time because some feel, ‘I cannot move my shack’… they become obstacles to the construction and expansion of the road. By that, we demonstrate unpatriotism because you delayed a project,” he said. Sankwasa said while road construction in Windhoek is ongoing, the lack of cooperation from some residents remains a barrier to timely completion and broader development goals. Sankwasa urged residents to prioritise national interests over personal ones when introducing development projects. “I take this opportunity to appeal to our citizens and residents of Windhoek that when a project is embarked upon that develops the country, the city, and where everybody else can benefit, please consider that your individual interest should be subordinate to majority interest or national interest,” he said. He also raised concerns about the misuse of public funds by those entrusted with implementing government projects. Reflecting on his past three months at the ministry, he said the country does not necessarily lack money but struggles with poor management of the funds that are available. “The government provides funds to local authorities, regional councils, and other government ministries and offices, yet these funds often face misuse,” said Sankwasa. He added that high levels of bureaucracy also delay service delivery and hold back progress. “Bureaucracy is one of our enemies if you want to deliver development in this country. If you are to take the accountability reports at the beginning of the financial year, which are submitted by the Ministry of Finance, and look at how much money is returned to the state coffers… unused, budgeted for but unused by the respective ministries, respective institutions… you will be left wondering, ‘Why did they ask for this money in the first place?’” he questioned.

GRN plans upgrades to roads, rail, and aviation Chamwe Kaira Minister of Works and Transport, Veikko Nekundi, stated that his ministry aims to ensure the 2025/2026 budget delivers a modern and reliable transport infrastructure within its N$2.7 billion. The transportation development programme will include the construction of feeder and access roads, upgrading gravel roads to bitumen standard, road rehabilitation, and the development and maintenance of state-owned aerodromes. Nekundi highlighted the completion of several major projects, including the rehabilitation of 58km of the Windhoek-Okahandja road, transforming it into a dual carriageway from Brakwater to the intersection of Okahandja-Karibib and Okahandja-Otjiwarongo roads. He also mentioned the completion of Phase 1 of the Walvis Bay-Swakopmund road, which includes a 12km extension of MR44, MR36, and TR2/1. The ministry continues to focus on building districts and access roads to connect rural communities with economic and social hubs. It is also responsible for constructing and rehabilitating state-owned aerodromes. The ministry has requested N$825 million for transportation infrastructure development. In addition, N$990 million has been requested for the provision and upgrading of the railway network to create a safer, more efficient system that supports socio-economic development. Nekundi also announced a request for N$45 million to be allocated to transport policy formulation, law enforcement, regulation oversight, and support for the National Road Safety Council (NRSC), the Trans Kalahari Corridor Secretariat (TKCS), and the Walvis Bay Corridor Group (WBCG). Regarding aviation, Nekundi reported that Namibia successfully passed the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP) with a score of 79.1%, exceeding the ICAO and NDP 5 target of 75%. He added that Namibia will soon take over air traffic services in the Namibian oceanic airspace and the airspace south of 27°30’00″S from South Africa.
