Farm workers who have been camping along the corridors of the Okahandja and Grootfontein Districts since 2022 are calling on the government to relocate them as a matter of urgency.

The group, which was evicted from commercial farms in the area, says they are losing livestock due to a lack of grazing land and fodder.

Some of the group were born on the farms from which they have now been evicted when their parents had previously worked there.

However, when their employer died, the farm changed ownership, and they were left stranded.

The Trade Union Congress of Namibia is calling for a decent work framework for farm workers.

TUCNA's Secretary General, Mahongora Kavihuha, says the framework will promote good employee-employer relations and improve productivity in the agriculture sector.

The trade union, in conjunction with Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, is hosting a workshop for farmer's associations from Zambezi, Kavango East, and Kavango West at Rundu.
