A group of Keetmanshoop residents alleged nepotism in the appointments at the municipality as well as unfair labour practices. 

The protesters, in a petition, accused the acting HR Strategic Executive Manager, Adam Isaack, of alleged nepotism. 

Residents of Okahandja's informal settlements are protesting against the municipality's alleged failure to respond to longstanding grievances.
