Walvis Bay taxi drivers doubt Nekundi’s order on permits Allexer Namundjebo Some taxi drivers in Walvis Bay and Swakopmund say they are not sure that traffic officers will follow the latest directive from Transport Minister Veiko Nekundi. This comes after Nekundi, during a meeting in Walvis Bay on Tuesday, instructed traffic officers to stop confiscating taxi permits.  He said they have no legal power to do so. “There is no authority that gives traffic officers the power to confiscate permits. Just like car discs, you can only remove a disc from a car if it is not roadworthy,” Nekundi said. He also told officers to return any permits or discs they have already taken. At the same time, Nekundi urged taxi drivers to follow traffic laws. “Those who are not obeying road traffic rules should be issued with traffic fines or penalties. Drivers should respect traffic officers, and officers should respect drivers. Otherwise, it will be a chaotic situation,” he said. Taxi driver Mathews Ndadi said he hoped both Nampol and municipal officers would respect the minister’s order. “Unfortunately, I didn’t attend the meeting, but if that was said, then I am just hoping that the police will comply,” he said. Ndadi also asked for fairness when it comes to fines based on tyre conditions. “The other point I have is that the police should also be lenient when giving us tickets, as we are really suffering from unsafe roads. We want to comply, but we can’t be buying new tyres every month,” he said. In 2023, police spokesperson Kauna Shikwambi explained that only a traffic officer appointed under Section 11 of the Road Traffic and Transportation Act 22 of 1999 may act under Regulation 163 of the 2001 Regulations. She had explained that this regulation allows officers to remove a licence disc if they issue a notice to stop the use of the vehicle and direct it to a testing station.  The notice must name the station and give a deadline of up to 14 days. A copy of the notice and the removed disc must be sent to the testing station. Another taxi driver, Thomas Rengura, who attended the meeting, said he hoped the traffic departments got the message. “Sometimes the minister can speak just answering questions, but is the police’s traffic department already aware of what he said?” he asked. Rengura praised Nekundi’s approach. “When he (Nekundi) became minister, he has been advocating for us. He also allowed seven-seaters to transport customers on long trips, which is a good thing. We depend on our taxis for survival, and if the police can be on our side, we will not have any problems,” he said. While permit issues are under the spotlight, many drivers say the poor condition of Walvis Bay’s roads continues to affect their work. In 2023, taxi drivers, with support from the Namibia Economic Freedom Fighters, protested near the Mautamanene fire station in Walvis Bay.  They complained about potholes and high-speed humps that damaged their vehicles and led to fines for unroadworthy cars. “The road humps are high, and our cars are small. There are potholes everywhere. We hit these potholes and high humps that are causing our lights to go off. Traffic officers just give us fines. We have families to feed, but our money goes into the fines. I had four tickets of N$ 1,500 each at the time,” Josef Tuxab, who was part of the protest, said.  Another driver, Gustav Kandonga, told Windhoek Observer that the fines cut into their income. “We shared our earnings with tickets. Sometimes we failed to pay the fines and risked imprisonment. That’s why we went on strike. We demanded the municipality fix the roads and reduce the fines,” he said. Taxi drivers also reported illegal taxis operating during the strike.  They submitted two petitions to the Walvis Bay municipality, but say nothing changed. Later that year, Mayor Trevino Forbes said the town was ready to start road repairs.  He mentioned plans to bring back an in-house pothole repair team and fix key streets in Kuisebmond and Narraville.  These included Agaat Street, Khomas Hochland Street, Sixteenth Avenue, Johannes Nampala Avenue, Nathaniel Maxuilili Avenue, and Dune Street. Despite these promises, taxi drivers say many roads are still in bad shape and they are still waiting for a real change.

Windhoek taxi drivers blame potholes for worn tires Allexer Namundjembo Taxi drivers in Windhoek say pothole-riddled streets are wearing down their tyres, and they are calling on the City of Windhoek’s traffic law enforcement division to stop issuing fines for tyre conditions they believe are caused by poor infrastructure. Heavy rains have damaged many roads across the city, making driving conditions difficult and expensive for public transport operators. Frans Natangwe, a taxi driver, said he has replaced his tyres five times since the rainy season began. “To be honest, we want the roads fixed, but we understand that it’s difficult to repair them right now due to the rain. However, they should find alternatives, such as filling the potholes with sand,” he said. Natangwe added that he no longer services certain areas because of the damage it causes to his vehicle. “I’ve stopped taking passengers to Greenwell or other areas in that direction. If you go there, your car will be damaged. Not just the tyres, but the shocks and other parts too,” he added. Francois Garoeb, a taxi owner, said the condition of the roads has reduced his taxi’s income. “Before the rainy season, when the roads were in good condition, my driver used to make money. But now, I know he can’t make the same amount due to the terrible state of the roads. He used to drop my kids off at school in the morning, but now, to make money, I have to make adjustments so he can make money during the busy morning hours,” he said. Uitepisa Kavenjaa said the city council should start using more durable materials for road construction. “We are experiencing climate change. If the rain keeps falling nonstop, will our roads be affected? They should use interlocking stones in areas with water drainage,” he said. Community activist Shaun Gariseb accused local authorities of focusing more on enforcement than service delivery. “The City of Windhoek doesn’t prioritise anything other than writing tickets and causing traffic disruptions with unnecessary roadblocks, rather than using this opportunity to engage with the community,” he said. Gariseb said some residents are already filling potholes with sand and urged the city to involve local committees to manage affected areas. “They want us to wait until after the rainy season. What if it rains until December? This torrential rain is abnormal for our country,” Gariseb said. He further suggested that the municipality involve the community, even through CDCs (Community Development Committees), to help manage the areas most affected by the poor road conditions. “It costs N$1 000 to fix my rims, and a good second-hand tyre costs N$400—all because the City of Windhoek’s roads and infrastructure department never has a contingency plan for anything. Drivers should not accept tickets for tyre conditions until the City of Windhoek also prioritises fixing these potholes. These issues can cause accidents, as even experienced drivers may not see the potholes in time,” he said. City Police spokesperson Mercilline Murapo said fines are only issued when tyres are worn out, but police may be lenient if drivers provide valid reasons. “We understand that the roads are in bad condition, but if a tyre is worn out and the driver has evidence, we will understand,” Murapo said. At a City Council meeting on Monday, the mayor said only temporary road repairs would be done for now, with permanent work planned for after the rainy season.
