They don’t care, or do they?

SEPO ORGANISATION WRITES:

Namibia for sure is at the crossroads and it is now that we need to come much closer together to rescue our country from further social and economic destruction.

Firstly, let us thank all those hard-working and committed employees in both the public and private sectors for offering products and services with value for taxpayers’ money. Also, we want to thank and acknowledge the employers for the role they play in creating and maintaining employment, especially during these very difficult economic times.

With that said, we want to draw attention to all stakeholders and role-players about the plight of the working class. Our call is for us to from all over the country come together, unite and ask the question do they (really) care?

Farm workers, domestic workers, gardeners, cleaners, service station workers, lodge workers, security guards and receptionists are but some of the hard labourers who must unify. We must come together for the sake of finding common ground as well as ways and means, to fight for revised and improved earnings and employment benefits.

The capitalist system, mainly driven by government models such as Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) and white monopoly economics, continue to widen the gap between the haves and the have not’s, the rich and the poor.

We have witnessed over the many years how municipalities, regional and local authorities and private businesses/investors with links to the political elite have been running Namibia’s administrative affairs at the expense of the poor and previously disadvantaged citizens. Our political, religious, traditional and business leaders who are supposed to lead in transforming the nation have failed us big time.

Namibians irrespective of tribe, region, political/religious affiliation let's come together and fight for our constitutionally guaranteed human rights. Because those in the hierarchy, those with power money, resources and influence don’t care.
