CMC Ravenna and Otesa Joint Venture have announced that employees working on the B1 Road construction, who downed tools last week due to delayed payment, have received what is due to them. Over 100 employees of the joint venture marched to the CMC/Otesa joint venture's offices in Okahandaja, demanding payment of overtime they worked during December. Project manager Luca De Maria, while emphasising that the workers' actions were illegal, attributed the delay in overtime payments to a newly installed time-keeping system, AFRICLOCK. Meanwhile, CMC Ravenna and Otesa Joint Venture have temporality suspended construction of the remaining 21 kilometre stretch of the B1 Road between Windhoek and Okahandja. The suspension, the joint venture says, is due to the delayed payment of invoices by the Roads Authority.
