Natis reopens facilities in Windhoek

THE DRIVE-THROUGH facility at Natis Valley in the northern industrial area of Windhoek reopened yesterday.

Also reopened were cash halls for corporate clients at the Roads Authority’s head office.

In a media statement on Tuesday, manager of corporate communications at the RA, Hilleni Fillemon said the drive-through will only assist customers whose vehicle licences expired during the lockdown.

“Only clients in vehicles will be assisted at the drive-through facility. Please do not visit our offices if your vehicle licence is still valid under the 21-day grace period. The cash hall for corporate clients will only attend to those whose fleet licences have expired,” she said.

Fillemon urged drivers to use their debit or credit cards when making payments for services as no payment via eWallet, easy-wallet and or blue-Wallet transactions will be accepted. The extension for those whose documents, such as driver’s and learner’s licences expired during the lockdown period is subject to the minister of works and transport’s approval. More information will be communicated in due course, she said.

Operating hours for the drive-through facility and cash hall will be from 08h00 to 15h30, she said.

“The safety of our staff and customers is our highest priority and the RA has put the necessary preventive measures in place to contain the spread of the coronavirus. We wish to appeal to all our clients to adhere to the set precautionary measures and cooperate with our security officers and staff at all times,” Fillemon said. – Nampa
