The Namibia Student Financial Assistance Fund (NSFAF) is asking state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to help pay off money owed to it by their employees.

This call was made by NSFAF's Company Secretary, Fillemon Immanuel, at the Chief Executive Officers and senior management engagement from 57 SOE's.

The non-payment of conservancy employees' salaries is one of the similar concerns discovered by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Natural Resources in many areas.

The strike by emergency care practitioners and ambulance drivers scheduled to start today has been averted.

Initially, workers have indicated going on strike over the non-payment of overtime claims from October last year to January 2023.
