Namdeb keeps the end in the eye Planning runs for the self-sufficiency from Oranjemund, diamond dismantling continues The diamond promotion in the south Namib approaches to the end over the next years and the diamond company Namdeb prepares Oranjemund for the status of a proclaimed municipality. Criticism from the parliament rejected Namdeb Geschäftsführerein Inge Zamwaani Kamwi yesterday. This suction dredger (mA 1 Jetrig) schlürft diamanthaltigen gravel and mud from the surf in the south Atlantic. Namdeb still counts on 30 years diamond promotion of the bottom of the sea. Windhoek - Zamwaani Kamwi used the cause of an answering on criticism at Namdeb of the party leader of the congress democrats (CoD), Ben Ulenga, for a general Pressebriefing. Namdeb employs 3150 employees, about which only 537 with limited contracts is employed, meanwhile Ulenga had stated that most workers are adjusted to time only. The Namdeb boss added however that regarding the slowly running out diamond promotion in the old restricted area, which celebrates now its 100-jähriges anniversary in the future more working premises with limited occupation it was created. At present Namdeb promotes only 50 per cent of its blunt diamonds from the sand and dune belt of the restricted area, meanwhile the other half of the annual yield from the surf and of the bottom of the sea comes. The relationship will shift ever more to favour of the sea diamonds. With the present volume of the dismantling of over one million carat per year the production on the mainland will presumably run out in twelve years, meanwhile the dismantling of the bottom of the sea after current realization will be still about 30 years productive. Zamwaani Kamwi with the reference to the minimum wage answered to the Ulenga criticism that the Namdeb workers earned only ,,pocket money ", with Namdeb. A worker N$6356 initial wages in the month, meanwhile it still free of charge accommodation and mine transport between job and its dwelling benefit earned at least. Namdeb employees receive on the average annually a salary increase from eight per cent. From the social fund of Namdeb 40 per cent for the promotion of social projects in the south regions Karas and Hardap flow, but Zamwaani Kamwi omitted it here quantifying the achievement. With the reference to the social security benefit it wanted to weaken the accusation that Namdeb does not do ,,anything for the regions ", in which the diamond dismantling is operated. Namdeb gives special attention now ,,to the forbidden city "Oranjemund, where visitors become certified in formal request procedure only, according to the mine boss. ,,We prepared, said Oranjemund for the future opening of the municipality "them yesterday. As a forerunner of a city administration the Oranjemund management CO already functions., which becomes the locality of the mine company abnabeln. So far the mine achievements and the inhabitants regulated had hardly urban deliveries to pay. End this yearly to Oranjemund however as municipality one proclaims. ,,This initiative brings many challenges with itself. The municipality lebensfähig to receive, if the diamond dismantling is adjusted, will not be the smallest one ", so Zamwaani Kamwi. At present the locality counts 10000 inhabitants. The responsible Ministries are actively involved in the transformation of the mine city to a usual municipality. Meanwhile the production management the life span of the mine still far into the future to extend wants to be throttled, must the range of the promotion in foreseeable time perforce.

I believe some of the mines workers were upset with Inge Zamwaani in her reply on national radio in regard to Ben Ulenga's statement in the newspapers that Namdeb mistreats it's workers. Apparantley she said on National Radio that none of Namdebs employees get paid less that N$6000. oo per month, needless to say some workers heard that radio report, and guess what? they do indeed earn less than N$6000.00 per month,

Once again..I'm not saying this, I heard some workers on the floor discussing the radio report...
