EEC review panel scrutinises Entrepo Namibia's affirmative action compliance
At an Employment Equity Commission (EEC) review panel hearing, Entrepo Namibia's compliance with affirmative action legislation and its consultations with employee representatives came under scrutiny. The review centred on whether Entrepo had properly consulted its employee representatives before revising its affirmative action figures under section 24 of the Affirmative Action (Employment) Act, a separate issue from the retrenchments disclosed at the hearing. Entrepo awaits the EEC's final decision, due by Friday, as the commission wraps up hearings covering nine employers which did not comply with the affirmative action plan.

Entrepo Namibia retrenches 25 workers and expects more cuts amid wind-down
Entrepo Namibia retrenched 25 workers, with the retrenchments concluded by the end of July 2026, and expects further job losses as it gradually winds down its operations after the government suspended its payroll deduction system. Twenty-four employees were retrenched in the first round following the closure of the company's sales and regional offices from 15 June, and a further employee was retrenched after returning from maternity leave. The Office of the Labour Commissioner acknowledged that the company complied with the retrenchment procedures prescribed by the Labour Act.
