Namibia, is one of the country that is continually experiencing high level of land ownership inequalities and perpetual landlessness. The failure of government in decisively addressing the burning land question has contributed to homelessness, poverty, unemployment, alcohol and drugs abuse inclusive of weak societal cohesion. To the highest degree, high level of housing deficit, food insecurity, slums and constipated economic growth.

A National Resettlement Policy was adopted to support the implementation of Land Reforms Parliamentary Acts after independence, 1990. Unfortunately, the well intended guidelines have been hijacked by corrupt leaders who eye land as an economic commodity, as opposed to it serving as springboard for economic development, poverty alleviation and restorative justice yard stick. In most parts of the country, many communities are perpetually becoming homeless, landless and destitute as their rights in land is being violated by very leaders and institutions that must protect them during Land Redistribution programmes. The programme benefited the elites and their immediate families, with exceptions of very few cases. 

Currently, communal communities residing in Otjinene political constituency, are threatened to be further dispossessed of their ancestral land rights measuring over 13 475 hectares, through the same process, that has deprived many of their rights for the past 30 years. This unfortunate process will see over 6 villages with 300 families being directly affected. Additionally, this will directly limit the growth potential of only urban centre, Otjinene Village Council (1008 ha) as it has already requested for 5 km radius expansion of its boundaries. 

Fortunately, there are viable alternative options to used by government as opposed to the proposed mode being objected by the communities, as will avert the negative impacts of homelessness, landlessness and further marginalization is at the center of this undertaking.
