A month-long strike by NHE employees has ended after management and the union agreed on a once-off payment of N$5 000.

The employees went on strike after management and the union reached a deadlock over wage negotiations.

The negotiations, which centered around salary increments, have ended with the employees agreeing to deductions from their salaries, given the "no work, no pay" rule in place during the strike - over an eight-month period. 

The employees had initially demanded a 7% salary increment and later proposed a once-off payment of N$10,000.
