The economy is not only by white collar but blue collar as well,\u201d said Hedimbi.<\/p>\n<p>There are some job opportunities that may only require manual work and of course for that matter, we will need people with no educational background to register with the system, she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
