Former and current members of the Mine Workers Union demand to benefit from the trust they played a part in creating in 1997.

The Trust, according to the Association of Mine Workers Beneficiaries Namibia-Ambena, has been making money, though without the beneficiaries benefiting from it.

The Minister of Labour, Industrial Relations, and Employment Creation, Utoni Nujoma, urged the government to act in the best interests of workers by providing affordable housing and improving working conditions and wages.
