Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>THE National Union of Namibian Workers (NUNW) has raised concern about the current situation of Namibia\u2019s railway parastatal, TransNamib, is finding itself in.<\/p>\n

Secretary-General of NUNW Job Muniaro has claimed that people who were hired to turn TransNamib has now turned the company upside down into their cash cows as TransNamib is supposed to be the economic driver of Namibia but it is not the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has become a trend that we are allowing foreigners to plunder our economy, destroying our parastatals in the interest of their companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrucial sections in TransNamib from which the company can generate revenue like the rail construction and maintenance, building maintenance (pipe bursts, broken taps), container handling and storage, and the alienation of road operations from the company\u2019s business has led to the dormant state of the mechanical workshops.<\/p>\n

\u201cOvernight parcel express and passenger service are no longer operating because of poor management. All this has happened against the caution and advice from the union and the lower-level employees,\u201d Muniaro said. He added that what is happening at the SOE is suspicious, to say the least.<\/p>\n

Muniaro stated that revenue loss in the company emanates from the close to 60% discount given by management to specific clients against the ISBP objective of delivering true customer value at competitive pricing and playing its appropriate role in the Namibian economy, which in turn leads to non-profitability, and thus making the company a loss-making entity.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs per the example container transportation from the coast to the north as per TransNamib tariff table no. 500, which is supposed to be N$15 530 per container (12 metres) but is given to their friend for a mere N$5 000 contrary to the management media utterance of transporting volumes to generate revenue which is not the case,\u201d Muniaro shared.<\/p>\n

The union also shared its frustration with TransNamib\u2019s Performance Management System, sharing that all employees employed since 2018 have not received their 13th cheque because they are employed on PMS as a severance package, and yet have not received any bonuses, nor been evaluated or scored, however, the executives in 2019 after signing of the PMS policy submitted to the board for them to get a performance bonus annually.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, we foresee the same fate to befall TransNamib, as with Air Namibia. We are saying enough is enough and will mobilise the entire working class and their families to protest in solidarity against the ongoing malpractices at TransNamib,\u201d Muniaro said.<\/p>\n
