The Cash and Carry at Rundu saga continues unabated as it remains unresolved despite them not returning to the stores on Friday.

The workers have been camping at the supermarket since Wednesday, blocking the entrance to the store until their demands are met.

The police had to be called in to forcefully remove the workers to allow the shop to operate.

Acting NamPol Regional Commander, Deputy Commissioner Eino Nambahu, says the police action was necessary to protect the rights of the employer, Cash n Carry.

The Swapo Party Youth League is dismayed by the re-opening of the Rundu Cash and Carry supermarket before a re-inspection of expired goods was carried out.

The shop was reopened following the Rundu Town Council's signaling of the green light.

A video of expired goods being handled went viral on social media.

Based on that evidence, health inspectors from Rundu Town temporarily closed the main shop after discovering more expired goods on the shelves.

The shop was closed until it could prove that it met hygiene standards.

276 workers at Rundu Cash and Carry stores have returned to work after recently being reinstated.

The employees were suspended from work after staging a demonstration in which they rejected low wages and ill-treatment at work.

They were supposed to commence with their duties on Wednesday, as agreed during a meeting.

However, upon arrival at work on Wednesday, the employees were not allowed to enter the shop.

Rani Group of Companies employees at its six Cash and Carry stores at Rundu have been reinstated effective the  8th of next month.

The employees were suspended after staging a demonstration, which the company considered an illegal industrial action.

Along with getting their old jobs back, the 276 workers will be granted a 10 per cent increase on their one-thousand 200 dollars pay. An offer which the employees have accepted.

Kavango East Governor Bonifatius Wakudumo and the Ministry of Labour, Industrialization and Employment Creation mediated in the dispute.

Over a hundred employees of Rundu Cash and Carry are left without jobs after they participated in a demonstration in December over allegations of unfair treatment and low wages.

Since the demonstration, the employees have been meeting up at the Dr. Romanus Kampungu Secondary School sports field, waiting for the four working days they gave the company to get back to them.

The shop, which had been closed last Wednesday while police investigated a robbery, reopened that same afternoon.
