Heavy Rainfall Displaces Residents

NewEra.com.na: "Torrential rains have brought catastrophic destruction for several families at the settlement of Chotto in the Caprivi Region whose mud houses have collapsed.

Rains displaced many families from Chotto at the weekend. Those affected had to seek shelter at the Old Legislative Hall while others have moved in with relatives at Katima Mulilo.

The Katima Mulilo Town Council offered the Old Legislative Hall after the affected families appealed for help.

Speaking to the media yesterday, one displaced woman said they were having a difficult time as some among them have had their goods ruined by running water that swept through their houses."
