The majority of these are in the Wanaheda, Rocky Crest, Goreangab, Khomasdal, Otjomuise and Okuryangava areas, while Hochland Park, Suiderhof, Pioneers Park and Klein Windhoek are also included.
In 2023, the National Ownership Association revealed that over 14 985 houses were repossessed in Namibia between 21 March 1990 and 16 April 2014.
