Humiliation and Anger as CVs of Unemployed Youth Allegedly Discarded
By Anton Wokie
The Office of the Erongo Regional Governor’s Office has ordered M15 Mining Contractor to urgently report to regional authorities following allegations that CVs submitted by unemployed residents in Karibib were discarded.
In a statement shared on Facebook on Monday, 18 May 2026, the governor’s office said it had received “disturbing information” indicating that the contractor, reportedly operating under Osino Resources Corp., had collected CVs from local residents for both skilled and unskilled employment opportunities.
According to the statement, a concerned community member allegedly later discovered a pile of discarded CVs, prompting the matter to be escalated to local and regional leadership.
Nathalia /Goagoses strongly condemned the alleged conduct, describing it as “disrespectful and unacceptable towards job-seeking Namibians”.
The governor further instructed the company to suspend its operations and appear before the Office of the Governor to explain the circumstances surrounding the incident.
“The intervention aims to maintain harmony, mutual respect and constructive relations between communities and companies operating in the region, while protecting the dignity of local residents,” the statement read.
The incident has sparked concern among community members, particularly amid high unemployment levels affecting many young people in the region.
The matter also comes at a time when mining and construction activities are expanding in Erongo, with several projects expected to create employment opportunities for Namibians. Recent reports have highlighted ongoing mining developments linked to Osino Resources and other mining operations in the region.
No official response from M15 Mining Contractor had been issued by the time of publication.
