The Minister of Justice and Labour Relations, Wise Immanuel, told Parliament that a group of employees assigned to Walu Fishing have not received their salaries since October last year.

Namibia has introduced the National Coordination Mechanism on Decent Work in the fisheries sector.

The mechanism is a body that will ensure that there is social and labour compliance in the fishing industry.

President Nangolo Mbumba says the promotion of Namibianization is progressing well in the fisheries sector. 

He revealed that, to date, 90% of fishing rights are owned by Namibians, and the sector employs about 18,000 Namibians.
