THE newly-formed Namibia Farmers Support Initiative (NFSI) has criticised Government for allowing Asians to work in the country at the expense of unemployed Namibian youth.
At a press briefing in Windhoek yesterday, NFSI founding member Sigi Eimbeck said it was unacceptable for Government to deny jobs to unemployed Namibian youth by allowing Malaysian textile and garment factory Ramatex to “import” workers from Asia to work in the country. The NFSI was established recently.Its mission is to ensure that the land is properly inhabited, tilled and conserved.Eimbeck said his organisation should not be seen as a threat or as opposed to other unions, but as a union that supported the notion that the ownership and redistribution of land were important issues which needed to be addressed urgently and seriously to satisfy the needs and aspirations of the Namibian nation.- NampaThe NFSI was established recently.Its mission is to ensure that the land is properly inhabited, tilled and conserved.Eimbeck said his organisation should not be seen as a threat or as opposed to other unions, but as a union that supported the notion that the ownership and redistribution of land were important issues which needed to be addressed urgently and seriously to satisfy the needs and aspirations of the Namibian nation.- Nampa
