Only two of the dismissed seven Katima Mulilo Town Councillors showed up Wednesday afternoon for a meeting with Minister of Urban and Rural Development, James Sankwasa.

Sankwasa used the opportunity to explain why he dissolved the entire council.

In a termination notice, gazetted on 15 August 2025, Sankwasa announced the dismissal of the councillors, after they failed to comply with an earlier notice that gave them the right of reply.

The Katima Mulilo Town Councillors came under fire in recent months over allegations of corruption, which saw them exchanging large pieces of land with vehicles and other movable properties.

Sankwasa explained to those present at the meeting the ground on which they were dismissed.
