Southern Namibia: heavy rains in Keetmanshoop area

Keetmanshoop, Karas Region - Torrential downpours in Keetmanshoop on Tuesday this week caused serious damage, especially in the less privileged sections of the town.

Although the farming community surrounding Keetmanshoop welcomed the rains, not everyone felt the same way. The more than 200 residents of the Ileni informal settlement, whose lives were disrupted after their make-shift homes were flooded and their belongings damaged, had every reason to curse the heavens.
