A group of disgruntled youths from Khorixas have threatened to grab jobs that are being occupied by 'outsiders'.
This comes after a peaceful demonstration at the town, where the youth expressed disappointment at the employment of 'struggle kids' at the town.
"Even if it means we have to start by walking into the government offices to start working we will do so. We do not have a choice" Reinhardt Namaseb an unemployed youth said.
Another youth Willem Kaibab said that petitions have been futile and that their condition was only going to be improved by drastic means.
"The only jobs I usually get are in security but they do not pay me well at all. I studied boiler making at NIMT is Arandis and will be very happy if I am employed in our home town," he said.
The leader of the concerned group Merceline Lambert said that as proof that the youth at the town is ready to work, they took mops and brooms to government offices where they started cleaning.
"Start employing our unemployed youth and see what difference it makes. As leaders, they are supposed to fight for us but they are still quiet. They did not even respond to our demands after we have handed over the petition," she said.
