At least 500 of the affected people are pupils at the local school, where classrooms and teachers' houses have been flooded as a result of heavy rains over the past two months.
Councillor for the Sibinda constituency Felix Mukupe told The Namibian yesterday that he expected all the affected people to be moved by the end of the weekend.
They are being taken by car about two kilometres away from Sibinda village, where they are being provided with tents, food and blankets.
