A wave of grief and desperation swept through the town of Okahandja today, as hundreds, if not thousands, of residents, learners, and community leaders took to the streets in a mass protest over the horrific murders of three young girls.
Two of them were five and six years old, while the other was 15.
The Ministry of Justice and Labour Relations has ordered Omeya Investment CC to pay its employees according to the National Minimum Wage.
The action by the ministry follows a protest led by the Namibia Security Workers Union, which claimed that the company was underpaying staff.
A lecturer in project management at the University of Namibia, Joshua Mario, has commended President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah's decision to place the oil and gas industry directly under the Presidency.
He believes this is an important move that will help develop the industry.
The good news for motorists using the road between Rehoboth and Windhoek is that the Minister of Works and Transport, Veikko Nekundi, today officially put into use the newly constructed detour road around the bridge, which collapsed last month.
President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has appointed Emilia Mkusa as Secretary to Cabinet, taking over from Dr. George Simataa.
Her appointment is effective from the 1st of May.
