Land grabbing in Otjozondjupa is threatening the stability of the region, the regional governor Otto Ipinge said. Ipinge said Otjiwarongo, being Otjozondjupa's regional capital, hosts the biggest informal settlements, while the towns of Otavi, Okahandja and Grootfontein are battling to formalise their existing informal settlements, such as !Naruseb informal settlement in Otavi which has become congested. Ipinge said the situation has forced some people to occupy land illegally.
