Kapana vendors out in the cold

The Otjiwarongo municipality is chasing vendors back onto the street after it sold the only open market in the town to a private entity without making provision for the vendors.
The municipality has sold the 6 347-square-metre plot for N$4.2 million to Amago Investment.
The company is co-owned by Otjiwarongo resident Dr Emirich Paulus, Swapo’s Khomas information and mobilisation officer and deputy director for asset management in the finance ministry Mirjam Onesmus, and a Chinese partner, Guihua Li.
The partners want to develop a crafts centre for tourists.
