Walvis Bay’s industrial expansion is set to gain even more momentum with an announcement this week that Walvis Bay Salt Works wants to expand its salt production infrastructure at its existing premises southwest of the harbour town.

Motorists in Walvis Bay were left flabbergasted on Tuesday morning when a shunting train was reportedly brought to a standstill on the railway crossing in 5th Street, in order for the operator and a colleague to get out of the locomotive to buy meals at one of the meme-kapanna’s that frequents the area.
