The Landless People's Movement has labelled charges against Namdeb's employee, Guame Stephanus, a witch hunt.

Stephanus also serves as an LPM representative on the Oranjemund Town Council.

Stephanus faces charges of putting the company's name in disrepute.

This reportedly follows his opinion piece that reads, 'There are diamonds, and the people are still poor, and green hydrogen cannot come, and the people are still poor".

During their demonstration, protestors demanded that disciplinary charges against Stephanus be withdrawn.
