Employers are urged to be just in the way they treat security guards, particularly when it comes to remuneration and conditions of employment.

This call was made when the Security Association of Namibia celebrated the men and women in uniform in the security cluster at its 31-year anniversary.

With the safety and security of all Namibians a key duty of all security forces in the country, the sector is faced with serious challenges.

The President of the Security Association of Namibia, Dhiginina Uutaapama, highlighted the troubles faced by security guards.

Security guards from Khaibasen Security Services have not been paid for two to three months.

The Namibia Independent Security Union (NISU) has now threatened to take legal action to recover the unpaid wages of the security guards.

Based in Otjiwarongo, Khaibasen Security Services has more than one hundred officers guarding places such as banks, municipalities, and the Otjiwarongo State Hospital.
