Disgruntled workers of Karasburg Town Council are discontent over the state of affairs, which they say has created an unconducive working environment.

The workers, under the banner of the Namibia Public Workers Union, staged a demonstration over the manner in which the councillors are running the council's affairs.

They demanded immediate reversal of what they called the "illegal appointment" of acting CEO Hansina Isaak and security guards and a salary increase.

Employees also claimed bullying, victimisation, and intimidation at the council.

Two Karasburg Town Councillors and a staff member were remanded in custody after they appeared in the Karasburg Magistrates Court on Tuesday following an arrest by the Anti-Corruption Commission.

The three are Karasburg Mayor Maria Veldskoen, chairperson of the town’s management committee Francisckus Skeyer, and its acting CEO Hansina Isaacks.

The trio, who appeared before Magistrate Samingo Kasaona while Prosecutor Esther Japhet represented the state, will submit their formal bail application on Friday.

They are charged with at least two counts of corruption.
