Namibia: Affirmative action needs proper handling

The perception is that the Affirmative Action Policy is ethnically based and might rip the country off if it is not managed properly, says the Director of the Labour Resource and Research Institute (LaRRi) Herbert Jauch.
Jauch told New Era that based on a survey that was conducted recently on the effectiveness of the policy four years after its launch, it was found that most companies have not made an effort to practise what the policy stipulates and the whole concept is taken as something that should be applied based on ethnic grounds.
