Bonus row at TransNamib

Workers at the rail parastatal threatened to down tools after they were informed that the company will not pay them their customary year-end bonuses.

An internal memo sent out to employees on Tuesday stated that November salaries would be paid late too.

However, that was resolved yesterday after the board and management held an emergency meeting and the company promised to pay the workers tomorrow.

TransNamib employees normally receive their salaries on the 25th of each month.
