Forbes meanwhile said the Municipality of Walvis Bay Fire Protection Services would clear the land where the shacks were, so that people can be resettled in accordance with the COVID-19 regulations.
The Mayor was accompanied by Miss Namibia, Chelsi Shikongo and Walvis Bay Fire Protection Services Efraim Kathindi.
