Former employees of Omle Security Services in Outjo claim they were replaced without notice after reporting for duty earlier this month.

Omle Security Services has been guarding schools in the Kunene Region. 

Members of the Namibia Public Security and Allied Workers Union handed over a petition to the Ministry of Justice and Labor Relations at Katima Mulilo calling for improved employment conditions for security guards.

Employers are urged to be just in the way they treat security guards, particularly when it comes to remuneration and conditions of employment.

This call was made when the Security Association of Namibia celebrated the men and women in uniform in the security cluster at its 31-year anniversary.

Security guards from Khaibasen Security Services have not been paid for two to three months.

The Namibia Independent Security Union (NISU) has now threatened to take legal action to recover the unpaid wages of the security guards.
