The Teachers Union of Namibia's Secretary General Mahongora Kavihuha has further sided with the Executive Director of the Education Arts and Culture Ministry, Sanet Steenkamp, who last week gave a stern warning to teachers and school management, asking them to find amicable ways to resolve conflict.

TUN Secretary General agrees with Steenkamp's remarks during the release of the national examination results that there are divisions at schools that divert the attention of officials from executing pertinent work.

Mahongora Kavihuha of the Teachers Union of Namibia has questioned whether the 2023 ordinary and advanced subsidiary-level results released by the education authorities are worth celebrating.

Kavihuha acknowledges that there is'some' improvement in the national results but adds that the improvement is marginal, hardly warranting the current congratulatory celebrations.

Minister of Education, Arts, and Culture, Anna Nghipondoka, revealed last week that 75 percent of learners did not meet the needed marks to continue their studies at universities.

The President of the Trade Union Congress of Namibia, Mahongora Kavihuha, believes the high cost of electricity in the country is a result of NamPower not living up to its mandate of producing electricity locally.

Kavihuha made this remark at a media conference.

The NamPower 2022 report indicates that Namibia imports 71% of its electricity from neighbouring countries.

Kavihuha says the power utility has proven ineffective in its duty to generate electricity from locally available and cheap resources.

The Trade Union Congress of Namibia (TUCNA) has also called on MTC Namibia to give permanent employment to those who have been working on contract for years at the call centres.

The union says it has received several complaints from MTC's contract workers at the call centre.

Some employees have allegedly been on contract for more than five years.

This, TUCNA president Mahongora Kavihuha says, contravenes the provisions of the Labour Act.

Namibians are called on to take action against corruption, if they want equitable beneficiation of the country's natural resources, particularly in the extraction industry. 

The Director of the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), Graham Hopwood, spoke at a workshop, aimed to investigate the possibilities of formulating the non-state actors' position, on transparency and accountability of extractive industries in Namibia. in view of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI).

Over 30,000 learners who sat for the Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Ordinary and the Advanced Subsidiary Levels have failed to qualify for admission to tertiary education institutions, and the Trade Union Congress of Namibia (TUCNA) Secretary General, Mahongora Kavihuha, described the situation as unfortunate and a great cause for concern.

38,013 learners sat for the full-time examinations, and only over 5,000 scored 25 points or higher. The remaining ones must figure out their next step.

The Trade Union Congress of Namibia is calling for a decent work framework for farm workers.

TUCNA's Secretary General, Mahongora Kavihuha, says the framework will promote good employee-employer relations and improve productivity in the agriculture sector.

The trade union, in conjunction with Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, is hosting a workshop for farmer's associations from Zambezi, Kavango East, and Kavango West at Rundu.
