Male employees at the Arandis Town Council are now legally entitled to 10 days of parental leave.

This follows a collective agreement signed between the Arandis Town Council and the Namibia Public Workers Union, which also includes a 3% salary increment across the board as of the financial year 2023.

According to Gideon Thomas, NAPWU's Head of the Department for Education, Strategic Planning, and Support Services, 10 days of parental leave will allow a man to participate in bonding and build a fundamental relationship with the infant.
