During 2017, the Rundu Twon Council appointed Environam Consultants Trading cc (ECT) to undertake the Environmental Assessment (EA) for Township Establishment of Sauyemwa Extensions 10 and 11 in order to obtain an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) for the proposed development. An Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) was issued for the activity in April 2017. In order to realise the formalisation project, the following activities were to be undertaken: The subdivision of the Remainder of Farm Rundu Townlands No. 1329 into Portions 2143 and 2144. Sauyemwa Extension 10 to comprise of approximately 335 erven and is 32.03 hectares in extent. Sauyemwa Extension 11 to comprise approximately 329 erven and is 25.36 ha in extent. The town of Rundu does not generate enough revenue to address the variety of needs of its population due to many factors among which is its historic unemployment rate (around 40%) being above the national employment rate. This state of affairs has meant that the Rundu Town Council has not been able to meet its objectives of formalising these Extensions during the validity period of the ECC issued in 2017. The Council has, however, been adamant to improve the livelihoods of its residents and has eventually mobilised funding to enable it to carry out this assignment. The Council has thus engaged Environam Consultants Trading once more to apply for the renewal of the expired ECC so as to allow it to complete this dignity restoring project. The process will be undertaken in terms of the Environmental Management Act (No 7 of 2007) (herein referred to as the EMA).
