The City of Windhoek has confirmed an average 4% increase in municipal tariffs, impacting thousands of households and businesses across the Namibian capital. The adjustment, announced last week, will result in higher costs for basic services provided by the municipality.
While the percentage increase is described as minimal, the change is expected to place additional financial pressure on residents. The higher tariffs will require a larger portion of household and business budgets to be allocated toward essential utility payments, raising concerns regarding the potential impact on overall consumer spending power.
