Otjozondjupa Governor, James Uerikua, accompanied by regional council chairperson, Marlayn Mbakera, held a meeting with the striking workers of the Cheetah Cement factory at Otjiwarongo. 

Uerikua told the workers who have been on strike since July this year that their strike has taken so long, therefore, urgent action is needed to end it. 

Nearly 200 workers at Cheetah Cement have been on strike since their wage negotiations reached a deadlock in July, which forced the Office of the Labour Commissioner to rule in favour of industrial action.
