The Mineworkers Union and Cheetah Cement have finally reached a wage agreement after a prolonged strike at the Otjiwarongo plant.

The workers were offered an increase of N$1000 on their basic salary across the board, backdated to January this year.

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.
