Amathila had gone to the office to explain matters 'related to the newly-renovated Katutura Singles Quar­ ters houses to residents. The Minister spelt out what was happening and announced that monthly instalments had been slashed. Later people whom she had questioned on whether they were really Singles Quarters residents did not want to let her leave the office. Things got out of hand with people using bad language and blocking her way until the police fired three warning shots and got her to safety. Chair of the Singles Quarters residents' committee, Simon Jafet, expressed disappoinment about the inci­ dent saying they had never expected such behaviour. He added that according to the information he had gathered the troublemakers had not been residents of the Single Quarters. Earlier Dr Amathila announced that monthly instal­ 'NOT ENOUGH' ;..
