Monopoly capital will not win today, it is only the Namibian people through a referendum can close Air Namibia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kock further stated that State-Owned Enterprises should be saved from the clutches of self-serving and conflictive politicians who will go to any lengths for self-gratification, including throwing away an airline with 636 workers to the vultures.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cabin crew union condemns closure of Air Namibia\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NxomgOwdFjo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey did it to SME bank, they did it to the fishermen, they tried to do it with Meatco and now they are doing it with Air Namibia.
