More than 500 employees at Nam Dock Walvis Bay went on strike in an effort to compel management and the board of directors to address their grievances.

The workers are discontented with alleged salary discrepancies and racism at the company, among other issues.

The outgoing chairperson of the Namwater Board of Directors announced that they are leaving the company with a positive balance, having improved it by N$215 million compared to when they assumed their position.
