Windhoek - The ruling Swapo party will act on the dire shortage of affordable urban land in the country and high housing prices, the party leadership announced on Monday.
"Steps have been taken to bring about speedier delivery of serviced urban land and address other issues surrounding high prices for the rental of accommodation and related matters," secretary general Nangolo Mbumba told reporters on Tuesday.
"The Swapo politburo meeting on Monday expressed concern over the impression being created that government has been reluctant to address issues related to the availability and provision of housing and serviced residential plots.
