Former National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (Namcor) managing director Immanuel Mulunga has won an unfair dismissal labour case against the state-owned oil company.
Mulunga, who headed Namcor for eight years, was dismissed on 8 August 2024 over several allegations, including the unauthorised N$50 million acquisition of assets from military contractor Enercon.
He challenged his dismissal on 20 August 2024, filing an unfair dismissal case with the Labour Court.
Namcor later retaliated with its own case on 8 November 2024, accusing Mulunga of discrimination and breach of contract.
In a ruling dated 5 June 2025, arbitrator Moses Mazambo dismissed Namcor’s case and ruled in favour of Mulunga.
“In the premise, this tribunal hereby orders the following: the applicant’s points in limine are hereby upheld; that, the dispute referred to the Labour Commissioner dated 8th November 2024 by the respondent is hereby dismissed,” Mazambo said.
Namcor was also ordered to pay Mulunga N$4 000 in costs.
“The matter is removed from the roll and regarded as finalised. This order is final and binding on both parties and will be made an order of the Labour Court,” Mazambo said.
