MVA Aims for Legislative Reforms
Levy on Electrical Vehicles, Amongst Others, Proposed
The Motor Vehicle Accident Fund of Namibia (MVA) is busy conducting nationwide public consultations for proposed amendments to the MVAFundAct of2007.
The Fund visited Swakopmund on Wednesday this week and the proposed amendments were presented to and discussed by various stakeholders, including traditional authority leaders,localemergencyservices,trafficofficials andmembersofthepublic.
The fact that the MVA Fund is operating on the same system and legislations since 2007/8 is one of the main reasons for these proposed amendments. The Fund's overreliance on fuel levy income was first on the agenda, with the MVA Fund's Simeon Riruako noting in his
presentation that the Fund receives 0.477 cents per litre of fuel. However, the Fund is obligated to pay benefitstopersonsinjuredorkilledinmotorvehicle accidents, including motor vehicles powered by electricity or gas whilst these vehicles do not contribute levies, Riruako remarked. Thus, it is proposed that in this case the Ministry of Mines and Energy, upon consulting the National Energy Council, should impose levies on these energy sources and publish it in the Government Gazette.
AccordingtoRiruako'sreport,duringApril2024an estimated 120 electric vehicles were recorded on
Namibian roads. In this regard, the Fund's chief legaladvisor,MsJoelynnKurznotedthatthismight not be an immediate threat but provision for the future should be made. Another proposal caters for the amendment of the limitation of persons transported on pick-up vehicles. The current Act requiresthatthelossofincome(LOI)claimforsuch persons, should the vehicle they are travelling in be involved in an accident, be reduced by 50%. It is proposed that this limitation be removed, ensuring that such persons will also be entitled to the full claim. The proposal is backed by the fact that in some instances, mostly due to the landscape of the Namibian terrain, a pick-up vehicle would be the

only means of transport, yet persons injured or killed in these vehicles are punished because of the limitationsimposedontheirclaims.TheFundrealised the injustice this poses, especially to people in rural and remote areas. Another interesting, proposed amendment involves the fact that some injured persons' need for loss of income only manifests after the current one-year prescription period. “There is a need to grant a longer prescription time period for persons claiming loss of income (LOI), given that some injuries only settle after a year, meaning the need for LOI is only established after the one-year prescription time period,” the Fund backsuptheirproposal,whichinvolvesthatthecurrent time period be extended to one year and six months. In the same breath, the Fund asks for the limitationoftheperiodaclaimcanbelodgedaftera death occurred to three years, provided dependants can proof that there is a casual link between the deathandtheinjuriessustainedinthemotorvehicle accident.Currentlytherearenolimitationsinplace. In their presentation, the MVAFund claims that the current reading of the Act regarding benefits payable to various categories of foreigners is ambiguous. Therefore, it is proposed that the Act be amended by clearly describing the specific categories of foreigners (those with permanent residence status, those with work or study permits, those with refugee status or have applied for such status and those in the country illegally) and the benefits they are eligible to claim.According to the MVAFund'spresentationitisnecessarytonotethat three categories of foreigners exist, but theAct currentlymentionsonlytwocategories.Thethreecategories referred to include foreigners on valid visi-
tors' permits and those recognised as refugees in terms of the law, who will receive a funeral benefit ofN$7000andmedicalbenefitofuptoN$1.5million. Category two caters for those illegally in the country This group is excluded in terms of theAct andreceiveonlythemedicalbenefitofuptoN$1.5 million. The third and final category, as per the MVAFund is foreigners who are in Namibia either on a study or work permit or those who are domiciledinthecountry(notmentionedintheAct).The delays in appointing external auditors to audit the Fund's annual statements are also thorn in the Fund's flesh, with it not being allowed to appoint external auditors to audit its financial statements before the financial year-end. Furthermore, theAct lays the obligation on the Office of the AuditorGeneral as per section 7(3) which states that the Fundmust,notlaterthanthreemonthsaftertheend of each financial year, submit records of accounts and financial statements to theAuditor-General for audit.AspertheMVAFundtheyhave“experienced numerous times where the process of appointing the Auditor delays the Fund and leads to noncompliance.Thus,theywanttheActtobeamended to allow the Fund to appoint external auditors to comply with the reporting timelines as set in the enabling Act. In her remarks Ms Kurz remarked that in earlier times the Fund was taken for a cashcow, with lots of fraudulent activities taking place, thus obligating them to put measures in place to curb this illegitimate trend. “We've come a long way and had to go back to the drawing boardchange is inevitable. The main focus is to see to it thateveryoneinjuredinanaccidentgethealthyand well and back into the workforce-streamline, ploughing back into the country's economy,” Kurz stated. The public is encouraged to visit the MVA Fund's official website (https://www.mvafund. com.na) for more information and a detailed clarificationofalltheproposedamendments.
600 Employees Demonstrate Disappointment in Redress Quota System
About 600 Casual employees currently employed by Hangana Seafood, expressed their concern and disappointment this week, regarding the Redress Quota System and its unintended negative impact on long-serving workers. The Redress Quota System was recentlyintroducedbytheMinistryofAgriculture,Fisheries,WaterandLandReform.
The workers handed the petition to the Ministry of Fisheries' Chief Control Inspector, Malcom Block, the Labour Inspector, Hiriua Koambo-Kazauana and Hangana Seafood's Human Resources Manager, Sonia Mattews, claimingdiscriminationandunfairlabourpractices. Some employees have been working at the company as casual employees since 2018, yet they remain in insecure and temporary positions. The petition states since the introduction of the Redress Quota System, Hangana Seafoodhasshifteditsemploymentfocus.Thepetitionreads: “They are now hiring Redress Quota System holders for permanent positions, while many of us who have worked at the company for years are being overlooked. The displacement of long-serving casual workers in favour of newly recruited quota holders is creating a lack of motivation and a growing sense of injustice among us. The petition further reads, “to make matters worse, this year the ministry approved the migration of individuals with Redress Qoutas from Westhook Fishing to Hangana Seafood due to alleged unfair treatment. While we sympathise with their situation, we also experience similar unfair treatment and are in desperate need of permanent employment opportunities.”The employees have the followingrequeststhataccordingtothemshouldfirstberesolved before allowing the recruitment of external quota holderstoensurefairnessandavoidunderminingexisting staff. The employees request that the ministry considers the allocation of Redress Quotas to long-serving casual workerssotheytoocanbeincludedintheRedressprocess andtobenefitfromempowermentinitiatives.
They request for the possibility of increasing Hangana Seafood's commercial quotas with the condition that long-serving casual workers be offered permanent employment first, and that the hiring of Redress Quota holders at Hangana Fishing be put on hold until the employment status of all existing casual employees have been resolved. The workers additionally request a joint investigation with the ministry of labour to assess how many casual workers remain at Hangana Fishing and otherfishingcompanies.
These long-serving casual workers are deeply concerned and confused as to why others seem to receive special treatment in a democratic nation where equality should be protected for all. They ask for transparency and fairness in employment practices across the industry, and hopeandtrustthattheministerwilltreattheirappealwith urgency and compassion Patrina Kamanya, group spokesperson and employee, asked how long they must serve as casual employees before being eligible for permanent employment. "Temporary workers are often excludedfrombenefitsandrecognition; evenwhenweget incentives or acknowledgements, we are overlooked simplybecauseofouremploymentstatus.
We believe that addressing these matters is essential for promoting a professional, fair, and dignified working environment, not just at Hangana Seafood, but across Namibia." The temporary contracts are from two to six months, and most of the workers are on a no-work, nopaycontractprinciple.

NCCI Hosts National Feedback Session on Namibia's Oil and Gas Readiness
The Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NCCI) hosted a virtual national feedbacksession recently,sharingkeyfindingsfromtheIndustrialBaselineSurvey(IBS) forthecountry'sgrowingoilandgassector.
The session, held in partnership with Deloitte, TotalEnergies, and Shell, brought together NCCI members and guests from across the country The goal was to take a closer look at how ready Namibia is to support the oil and gas industry, especially as the country stands on the brink ofmajorinvestmentdecisionsinthisspace.TheIBSstudy, which was launched in December 2024 and is backed by the Namibian government, was carried out by Deloitte Namibia. It had input from several major institutions, includingtheMinistryofMinesandEnergy,NAMCOR,and PETROFUND.“Thisstudyarrivesatacriticalpointinour national economic trajectory as the country aspires to develop new economic levers,” said Titus Nampala, NCCI'sChiefExecutiveOfficer
“It provides an evidence-based framework to guide local capability development, workforce planning, and local content policy, particularly in anticipation of upstream oil and gas investment,” he explained. Nampala also stressed the importance of making sure that Namibia doesn't just watchopportunitiespassby “Totakefulladvantageofthis discovery, we must enhance our capacity across the entire supply and value chain, so that more of the Dollar is retained domestically, unlike during the exploration phase,” he said. If the current oil and gas wells under reviewreceiveapositiveFinalInvestmentDecision(FID), Namibiawillneedtobeready,fast.“That'swhatmakesthe
IBS findings so important,” said Nampala. “We must be able to respond in step with the industry's demands.” The survey highlightsareaswhereNamibiaisalreadycapableofstepping in, such as road construction, ICT services, and waste management. It also shows where a little more investment could help local businesses rise to the occasion, including warehousingandcivilworks.
However, it also pointed out some areas that need serious attention, like improving safety standards, boosting certificationandcompliance,andstrengtheningtechnicaltraining. The survey's findings lined up closely with the discussions from the recent UNCTAD–NCCI Industry and Policy Engagement Workshop, which was held from 7 to 10 July in Windhoek. That event brought together industry experts, development partners, and public officials to talk about what Namibia is already producing, and what else it could start manufacturing in the near future. “The UNCTAD workshops underscoredwhatthedatanowconfirms,”saidNampala.“We arenotstartingfromzero,butwemustaddressfragmentation acrosspolicy,training,andinvestmentecosystems.

Galp Eyes Namibia's Oil Potential with New Partner Talks on the
Horizon
Portuguese energy giant Galp Energia is ramping up its ambitionsintheoilandgassector,andNamibiaisonceagain makinginternationalheadlinesintheenergyworld.
Following a strong second quarter performance, Galp announced this weekthatithasraiseditsforecastfor full-year core profits and is moving aheadwithplanstodevelopitsmajor offshore oil discovery near Namibia's coastline. The company has now adjusted its 2024 earnings target, increasing it from €2.5 billion to over €2.7 billion (that's around $3 1 billion), citing better-thanexpected results and solid performance from its global gas trading activities. One of the driving forces behind this uptick is Galp's delivery of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Venture Global's Calcasieu Pass export facility in Louisiana Under a take-or-pay agreementsignedbackin2018,Galp
receives 1 million metric tons of LNG annually from the U.S.-based plant. According to the company's latest financial report, second quarter adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) came in at €840 million, well above the expected €724 million. Net profit was also up by 25%, reaching €373 million for the quarter Galp credited the boost to lower taxes and increased oil production,whichhelpedcushionthe impact of falling crude prices and tightening refining margins But closer to home, it's Namibia's Mopane field that is drawing serious attention Galp, which currently holds an 80% stake in the promising offshore block, has confirmed it is
actively seeking a partner to help bring the Mopane discovery to production. The field is believed to hold at least 10 billion barrels of oil and gas equivalent, a volume that could dramatically reshape both Galp's portfolio and Namibia's energy future. “We're very happy that we have credible players engaging with us,” said Galp's Co-CEO Maria João Carioca during a recent conference call with analysts. “We're focused on making sure this partnership is successfully derived. Carioca confirmed that Galp has already received several non-bindings offers from international oil companies and is now entering one-on-one talks to evaluate each proposal. A final decision on the Mopane partnership is expected by the end of the year Galp's growing interest in Namibia reflects a widertrendamongglobaloilfirmsexploringnew frontiers in southernAfrica. With early estimates pointing to significant reserves, Namibia's offshore blocks are becoming a key focus for future development For Namibia, these developments could signal transformative opportunities in employment, infrastructure, and national revenue, provided the projects proceed with local participation and long-term sustainabilityinmind.
