PDM’s Vries demands answers over N$10.8 million Reho Spa upgrade

November 13, 2026

Questions are mounting in Parliament over the spending of nearly N$10.8 million on upgrading the Reho Spa resort in Rehoboth, which remains incomplete more than two years after work began.
PDM MP Diederik Vries has formally pressed Urban and Rural Development Minister James Sankwasa for clarity on conflicting figures regarding government’s financial contribution, as well as tangible progress on the ground. The latest figures hover around N$10.8 million spent on upgrades. Vries is also demanding a revised reopening date for the swimming pool facilities, which missed a September opening deadline, and confirmation on whether funding is secured for Phase Three to restore the resort’s main attraction, its natural hot springs. He further called for clarity on the legal transfer of the property to the Rehoboth Town Council, and plans to ensure permanent jobs benefit unemployed local youth.
