Three Air Namibia board members resigned with immediate effect on Monday. This comes after the board accused the govt. of interference in running the airline, making it difficult for it to execute its mandate.
Leon Jooste, Minister of public enterprises confirmed the resignations. The fate of the fourth member Alois Nyandoro couldn’t be established. The board has been at the helm of the airline for the past two years.
The resignations come after the board averted the airline’s closure last week after a world company called Challenge Air took it to court over debt. The government refused to provide Air Namibia with N$95 million. This fund was to pay Challenge Air. The board struck an agreement to settle without the government’s involvement.
