While Namibia joined the rest of the world in celebration of Workers' Day, the nation woke up to yet another horrific news item following an accident that claimed 11 lives.

Among those who died in an accident, which happened about 30 kilometres south of Otjiwarongo, are three medical staff.

Staff at the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) celebrated Workers' Day yesterday with enthusiasm, all while continuing their duties to keep the nation informed.

The activities marked an early celebration of the day, as national celebrations are set for 1 May.

Tomorrow, all roads lead to the Oshakati Sports Stadium as the Oshana Region hosts this year's International Workers' Day commemoration.
