Namibian Economic Freedom Fighters (NEFF) activist Michael Amushelelo is at it again.

He threatened to shut down Cheetah Cement Factory if the company's management does not attend to the negotiations by next Friday.

Amushelelo, along with fellow NEFF activists, visited the Cheetah employees who have been on strike since July 23.

He informed the workers that NEFF would shut down the factory next week should management fail to attend to the negotiations.

Otjozondjupa Governor, James Uerikua, is concerned about the protracted labour unrest at the Cheetah Cement Factory on the outskirts of Otjiwarongo.

Uerikua says the situation needs to be sorted out soonest, urging all parties to sit around the table and find an amicable solution.  

Uerikua called for an emergency meeting on Monday involving all parties in the hope of coming up with workable solutions to end the strike.

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.
