I think the namibian labour act must be taught to employers. Employers must also start respecting the employees because the employees brings in the profit to the company. - Leonardo

I think enough is enough foreign companies must be aware that we as Namibians are patient with them but one day things can become issues of concern and we will deal with them either by using extreme force. We have laws that protect our citizens from exploitation , Our aim was Independence not nonsens - johannes Shilongo
I agree with first two comments. labour dispute in Namibia is more worst.. Ministry of labour is failing to address the issue of labour dispute. they take workers' complains or demands not seriously. Please acts, people shouldn't called goats in independent country like Namibia. terminate his company licence until he comply to the law......Labour inspectors stop practice favouritism or cowardice. go now and investigate,,,its not far from Ministry of labour, Headquarter. What are you waiting for? you want this people to be treated inhumane!!!! it is joke in a free and independent country. - toivo
Employer + Employees = Profit / Employer + Goats = Blood baths - LG
labour dispute in Namibia is endless due to the greediness of employers/ manager including Government, they don't mind how less you get as long as you do what they want you to do! what is matter is their pocket. - linekela
I 100% agree, This so called Ministry of Labour must start talk to the companies that labour laws and regulations as well as workers rights are not negotiable. They just sit there and wait on complaints. - Ricardo
