President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah funded two prefabricated houses, valued at N$200,000 each, for residents in Windhoek. These houses were constructed by Yambuka Housing using prefabricated technology. The initiative aims to test the feasibility of this construction model to address Namibia’s estimated housing deficit of 500,000 units. Nandi-Ndaitwah called for collaboration among the government, private sector, financial institutions, and regulators to accelerate affordable housing delivery.
