The former workers of Air Namibia are continuing their fight to receive their severance packages.

A group of 638 demonstrators is reiterating their dependency on this remaining severance money as their primary source of support.

In December 2022, the former workers received a partial payment of their severance packages, but this amount was deducted without their consent.

Renier Bougard, the chairperson of the workers union, emphasised the urgency of addressing the situation while handing over a petition to the Ministry of Justice.

The former workers also lodged an objection with the Master of the High Court on January 13 of this year. However, they expressed their disappointment that there has been no progress in addressing their concerns.

The Deputy Executive Director at the Ministry of Justice, John Shimaneni, received the petition.

The former workers also submitted a second petition to Parliament through the Ministry of Justice, emphasising that they had already presented the first petition to Parliament on November 22, 2022, and have not yet seen any progress.
