On 5 March 2021 the Namibian Ministry of Land Reform issued 988 land holder titles to nine associations in Freedom Square;an informal settlement in Gobabis municipality;with an additional 122 to be printed in due course. This is a huge milestone to the residents of Freedom Square and to the stakeholders championing the improvement of tenure security of middle and low-income groups residing in different informal settlements of Namibia. The land holder titles are a statutory form of tenure which include similar rights of freehold ownership;hence improving tenure security to communities that were previously insecure and undocumented;and in so doing;improving their quality of life. Freedom Square residents now have the liberty to incrementally improve/develop their dwellings;i.e. housing and other basic facilities including water and proper sanitation.
