'Mutjavikua must quit'

Ellanie Smit
The National Union of Namibian Workers (NUNW) is demanding the immediate resignation of Erongo governor Cleophas Mutjavikua. This follows the leaking of an audio recording in which the governor purportedly suggests the “re-organisation” of the Husab mine workforce during a meeting with the mine's management. The governor can also be heard saying that President Hage Geingob is unlikely to support the “re-organisation” plan as it is an election year. NUNW secretary-general Job Muniaro accused Mutjavikua of instigating public violence in the Erongo Region and Namibia at large.
Muniaro said the NUNW is peacefully requesting Mutjavikua to resign and join the unemployed workers.
“If he does not resign, President Hage Geingob must fire him with immediate effect. There are many ways to skin a cat. We will fight until he is unemployed like the mineworkers who lost their jobs in the region.”
