In a recent petition to President Hage Geingob, the Peter Nanyemba Former Combatant Veterans Trust says government should come to the party and honour a Cabinet resolution to pay out veterans.
The veterans are demanding government pay out a pension of N$400 000, while the trust is demanding answers by 27 August, saying it wanted to have a conversation with Geingob and asked whether the resolution had ever been brought to his attention.
Its chairperson Nkrumah Mushelenga said veterans are not treated equally, despite the sacrifices they had made.
