The strike by nearly 1,000 workers at Namib Mills has ended after 59 days, following an agreement between the company and the Namibian Revolutionary Transport and Manufacturing Union (NARETU).

The Namibian Revolutionary Transport and Manufacturing Union (NARETU) has called on President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah to intervene in the ongoing strike at Namib Mills, warning that the labour dispute could escalate into a national food crisis.

A final agreement between NORED and the Mineworkers' Union of Namibia was reached last night at Ondangwa in the Oshana Region, bringing to an end the labour strike that began last Thursday.
