The Inspector General of the Namibian Police, Joseph Shikongo, has denied a request by the Namibian Economic Freedom Fighters (NEFF) to hold a protest along Independence Avenue in support of striking workers of the Windhoek Municipality.

NEFF made the request on Thursday last week, and Shikongo says that the request to hold the protest is not in compliance with the three working-day notice.

Lieutenant General Shikongo also informed NEFF that the aim of the intended demonstration has not been clearly specified in the notice.

Government attorneys have responded to lawyer Kadhila Amoomo after he wrote to President Hage Geingob and demanded the suspension of the Police chief, Lieutenant General Joseph Shikongo.

Amoomo who is acting on behalf of activist Michael Amushelelo wrote to the Head of State informing him that police investigations into the matter in which three people died as a result of a car accident in which Shikongo was involved are underway.

Residents of Keetmanshoop joined by NEFF activist Michael Amushelelo marched to the Magistrates' Court to demand justice for 31-year-old Elleste Plaatjies, who was allegedly killed by police officers.

The protestors handed a petition over to the Magistrate's Control Prosecutor, Lewis Chigunwe opposing the granting of bail to two police officers arrested in connection with Plaatjies' murder. 

They maintain that if the police officers are released on bail, they may influence the ongoing police investigation into the murder case. 

The employees of Craft Bistro, who have been on strike since Monday, have opened a case of assault against police officers after they were allegedly bruised and abused.

Employees are on strike in protest over management's failure to pay them their salaries on time, mistreatment, racism, and emotional abuse.

The employees claimed that they work long hours and that staff is often hired and fired verbally.

To date, none of them have been given job descriptions for individual positions in the company.

Namibians need to appreciate the importance of entrepreneurship as the main job creator.

These were the sentiments expressed by the Minister of Industrialization and Trade, Lucia Iipumbu, at the 2022 Namibian Business Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Windhoek.

The event, which takes place annually, inducts a distinguished group of entrepreneurs and corporate business leaders in their respective portfolios into the Namibia Business Hall of Fame.

The nominees were inducted under the categories of emerging entrepreneurs, laureates, and honorary laureates.

After a short stint in activism, Michael Amushelelo has called it quits.

"I hereby inform the public that I am moving away from the activism of being confrontational, shutting down companies and so forth,,"  said the former activist.
 
Amushelelo says he will redirect his energy and time to educating people to fight for themselves. This, he says, will have a more powerful impact.

The Black People's Economic Emancipation Association has petitioned Parliament to abolish Article 31 of the Constitution.

Article 31 protects sitting and former heads of state from civil or criminal prosecution for any wrongdoing committed during their tenure in office.

NEFF Commissar Michael Amushelelo, in a short reply to nbc News, explained why he is unable to support the G4S workers who downed tools on Monday morning.

Striking employees of Cheetah Cement have denounced the involvement of the Namibian Economic Freedom Fighters in their strike.

Last week, NEFF's Michael Amushelelo visited the workers at Otjiwarongo, urging them to stage a mass demonstration.

However, the Mine Workers Union's Cheetah Cement Branch's Chairperson, Naftal Nghipitwako, says whatever the NEFF leadership plans to do is entirely on their account.

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.
