Gobabis councillor Isak De Beer on Minister Sankwasa’s visit to the town
July 29, 2025
The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, James Sankwasa, has received widespread praise following his visit to the Gobabis Municipality, where he’s been hailed for his strong anti-corruption stance. His recent threat to suspend or dissolve the Katima Mulilo Town Council over allegations of corruption and financial mismanagement has sparked both support and criticism.
With persistent reports of administrative corruption and misgovernance plaguing Gobabis, many see Sankwasa as a potential game-changer – one who may finally tackle these issues more decisively than his predecessor, Erastus Uutoni. As we reflect on the minister’s meeting with municipal officials today and consider what might lie ahead, we’re joined by Gogabis councillor, Isak De Beer.
