TWO captions for photographs used with the story ‘Fears rife that Swakopmund’s heritage is being defaced’ on Wednesday, July 14, were unfortunately swapped.
The caption for the photo depicting Minette Court, which is being built next to an old house, wrongly stated that the house previously situated on the premises was illegally demolished. The caption was meant for the photo of the Blödorn House, of which the middle section had been demolished.The estate agent for Minette Court, Ludwig Schröder further pointed out that the building would fit in with the two adjacent houses once completed.He said the plans and height of the building, which is below the standard set by the Municipality, were approved by Council.The caption was meant for the photo of the Blödorn House, of which the middle section had been demolished.The estate agent for Minette Court, Ludwig Schröder further pointed out that the building would fit in with the two adjacent houses once completed.He said the plans and height of the building, which is below the standard set by the Municipality, were approved by Council.
