Dear Residents,

The Municipality has noted with concern the ongoing removal and theft of survey pegs from various surveyed areas within town boundaries. These pegs are important reference points placed by land surveyors to demarcate plots and guide future development activities.

Tampering with or removing these markers causes unnecessary delays in land development, increases project costs, and can lead to boundary disputes. We therefore appeal to residents and members of the public to refrain from removing, displacing, or stealing survey pegs.

The Municipality counts on the cooperation of all residents in safeguarding public property and supporting orderly town development.

Former mayor of Heusden town in the Netherlands, Henk Willems — after whom a street in Otjiwarongo is named — is visiting the town this week. His visit aims to strengthen the long-standing friendship and cooperation between Otjiwarongo and Heusden.

Otjiwarongo Mayor to Attend Prestigious Global Economic Summit in Windhoek

The Mayor of Otjiwarongo, His Worship Gotlieb Shivute, is among the distinguished guests set to participate in the 10th Anniversary of the Leaders Without Borders International Economic Development & Investment Summit and International Honors, taking place from October 24 to 25, 2025, at the Hilton Hotel in Windhoek.

The high-level summit, held under the theme “Eliminating Intra-African Trade Barriers – Strengthening Policy Reforms and Strategic Ex*****on Models for Africa’s Economic Growth,” aims to foster dialogue and collaboration on boosting trade and investment across the African continent.

Organized by the Leaders Without Borders Development Centre (LWBDC), the event serves as a platform for policymakers, business leaders, and investors to explore strategies that promote sustainable development through cross-border trade, innovation, and partnerships.

According to the LWBDC, its model serves as a “blueprint for developing programs and initiatives that advance comprehensive pathways toward sustainable development and economic growth via trade and investment opportunities.” The Centre emphasizes the importance of global collaboration to strengthen Africa’s economic resilience and competitiveness.

“Our drive is global investment opportunities and development for stakeholders across borders,” the LWBDC stated. “Our investment forums are a vehicle driving the agenda of global partnerships, trade, and investment promotion.”

This year’s summit will feature a series of engaging discussions centered on partnerships, investment strategies, and innovations across key sectors, including economic development, international trade, financial technology (FinTech), property technology (PropTech), information technology (InfoTech), financial markets, infrastructure development, agribusiness, mining, and renewable energy.

The event will also provide participants including heads of organizations, government officials, and private sector executives with access to high-level networking opportunities, business-to-business (B2B) meetings, global brand exposure, and potential high-return investment prospects.

A major highlight of the summit will be the unveiling of the “Top 50 Emerging Businesses in Africa,” a prestigious recognition of innovative enterprises shaping the future of the continent’s economy.

Mayor Shivute’s participation underscores Otjiwarongo’s growing commitment to aligning with continental and global development agendas that encourage trade, innovation, and sustainable growth, to Otjiwarongo as a town.

In terms of the provisions of section 69 of the Local Authorities Act, 1992 (Act 23 of 1992), as amended notice is hereby given that the Provisional Valuation Roll will lie open for inspection during ordinary office hours from 13 October 2025 to 13 November 2025 at the Municipality of Otjiwarongo: Head office.

The Council hereby invites the residents currently occupying land in Blocks 5-7 in Eie Risiko to a meeting to discuss relocation plans. These residents are strongly encouraged to attend this important meeting. See poster for more details.

Dear Residents,

The Municipality of Otjiwarongo hereby informs residents of Orwetoveni locations, including Extensions 8, 12, Heroes, and Freedom Parks, that one of our compactors (N6645OT) is currently out of order.

As a result, refuse collection in the affected areas may not take place at the usual time, since teams have to wait for another truck to complete its route before proceeding. We kindly ask for your patience while we work to rectify the situation.

Please be assured that the collection truck will still pass by your street on the scheduled collection day, though delays are expected.

While we address this challenge, the Municipality reminds all residents about the importance of responsible waste management:

Do not dump illegally – this pollutes our environment and creates health hazards.
Keep waste in containers or bags until the truck arrives.
Avoid burning waste, as it causes air pollution and health risks.
Reduce and reuse where possible to minimize household waste.

We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our town clean and healthy for all.

Dear Residents of Otjiwarongo,Please note that starting next week, our weekly Help Desk will operate from the Multi-Purpose Help Centre at the usual time. For today, residents can access the Help Desk at the Orwetoveni Municipal Office.

Join us this Friday, 03 October 2025, for our monthly farmers market. Stalls available from N$ 150, entrance is free.
