Iyaloo Women's Investment Group is blaming the former striking fishermen for the company's reduced budget and cash flow.

About 200 former striking fishermen, known as Okapale fishermen, petitioned Iyaloo Women's Group in February, demanding jobs at sea and not in the factory.

Amidst the labour unrest at NIMT, Executive Director Ralph Bussel stressed that the entity solely relies on the Namibia Training Authority and Namibia Students Financial Assistance Fund, to support its operations.
