A final agreement between NORED and the Mineworkers' Union of Namibia was reached last night at Ondangwa in the Oshana Region, bringing to an end the labour strike that began last Thursday.

Court proceedings across the country came to a standstill on Wednesday morning, as magistrates began a strike, leaving accused persons, lawyers, and prosecutors waiting in courtrooms with no presiding officers.

Employees of the Namibia Housing Enterprise (NHE) have voted in favour of engaging in industrial action.

Workers, represented by the Public Service Union of Namibia (PSUN) conducted a vote on whether or not to strike, with 90 percent of workers voting in favour.
