The mass disciplinary hearing of more than 180 Shoprite Checkers employees has been postponed until early next year, after the company’s first witness fell sick.
Uno Katjipuka, who is the workers’ legal representative, confirmed the postponement, saying the hearing will now run from January 18.
She said the first witness, Shoprite Namibia’s human resources officer Karen Smith, was not feeling well during her testimony on November 6, and could not continue.
The hearing, which commenced on November 2, follows workers participating in an unlawful demonstration.
