Episode notes



Over 500 fixed-term cleaners at the City of Windhoek recently called for their salaries to increase from N$3 300 to N$8 000, saying current wages are unsustainable.


Since then, over 100 have returned back to work.


The city confirmed that the strike is lawful and will proceed under agreed rules.


Desert FM speaks to city spokesperson Lydia Amutenya to give perspective on the matter.
