Marble works under siege
STRIKING workers of Best Cheer Investments have laid siege to the marble quarry and dimension stone processing facility in Kribib after they realised that Chinese nationals have been hired to do their work.
The workers have been on strike since last Monday and are demanding an increase in their salaries and housing allowances.
However, the workers have now laid siege to the facility in Karibib and are blocking the entrances to keep their replacement workers out.
The strike was organised by the Mine Workers Union of Namibia (MUN) after remuneration negotiations came to an impasse.
A MUN representative expressed disgust with the Chinese management’s decision to employ other Chinese nationals while the legitimate workers are on strike.

COVID-19 is one of the most notorious viruses that are present in the world, and it infects highly as its components can be carried by air towards other people, hence the masks and protective equipment. However, new research suggests that people whose pace while walking is slower might have a higher chance to contract the virus.

The pandemic has been plaguing the world for more than a year now, and it has already evolved to multiple variants that produced massive scares as they are more robust and effective in infecting people. Different strains may have gone out, but it is still a massive threat to human health, providing danger and health risks with exposure.
