About 60 Namibian employees at a Chinese-owned company, JTD Mining Group, near Arandis, will no longer share one toilet while on duty.

To get rid of overcrowding, the employer has further decided to build more sleeping rooms for the workers, following the Erongo Governors' intervention in the matter.

The Erongo Governor has called for the closure of the JTD Mining Group as the working environment is not conducive for employees and could pose a health hazard.

When the nbc News team arrived at the mine, they found local workers crowded into tiny rooms with one window.
