An inter-governmental delegation, led by the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources, which is in the ||Kharas Region to engage communities on the benefits of fishing, visited the Kameel River, a catchment area of the Neckartal Dam, to familiarise themselves with the situation on the ground.

A technical team led by the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources is in the ||Kharas Region engaging communities upstream of the Neckartal Dam.

The aim of the visit is to explore the sustainability and feasibility of developing inland small-scale fisheries on the banks of the dam.

The jobs of more than 600 fishermen who resigned at Walvis Bay, in the Erongo Region, will be offered to other people in the fishing industry.

This is according to Richard Metcalfe, the lawyer representing the four companies that have taken legal action against the employees. 

Namibia and Zambia are expected to sign an oil and gas agreement for the private sector to implement a pipeline project from Walvis Bay to Zambia.
 
The governments will sign the agreement at the 10th session of the Namibia-Zambia Joint Permanent Commission, currently underway at Swakopmund.

Otjozondjupa Governor, James Uerikua, is concerned about the protracted labour unrest at the Cheetah Cement Factory on the outskirts of Otjiwarongo.

Uerikua says the situation needs to be sorted out soonest, urging all parties to sit around the table and find an amicable solution.
