A 23-year-old Walvis Bay woman who was electrocuted at work says her contract was allegedly terminated while she was admitted to the intensive care unit.

The now disabled Theresia Jeremia was once a healthy young woman before she survived an electric shock incident in her line of duty.

The Board of the Roads Authority has decided to extend the employment contract of Chief Executive Officer Conrad Lutombi for another three years.

The three-year extension is also to allow for the recruitment process to commence timely and facilitate a smooth handover once Lutombi retires.

The more than 600 fishermen who allegedly resigned from the Cavema Joint Venture at Walvis Bay have appealed to the government to give them active employment instead of a monthly allowance.
