JUST IN: More than 100 fixed-term employees from the Solid Waste Division of the City of Windhoek have downed tools this morning, demanding a salary increase from N$3 300 to N$8 000 to enable them to access medical aid and join a pension fund.
According to their representative, John Paporo, workers say their current salaries are too low to qualify for these benefits, and they want management to urgently review their conditions of employment.
The group has gathered at the China Town four-way stop and is set to march to the City’s head office in town to hand over a petition outlining their grievances.

Many people don’t know this but comrade Nekundi was once SRC President at Polytechnic (NUST). One of the best leaders to emerge from the current leaders. We must encourage all our former student leaders to come back to politics. Leadership is a calling which starts at young age.
This is very progressive of the President. This is sound leadership and a win for selfless nurses like Kuku Matilda Kadhikwa. Shapwa must discover a new means to take Betty to Italy for Gucci shopping. Viva NNN!!!
