Protest against phosphate mining “enviro-clearence”

Hundreds of fishing industry workers lodged a peaceful march to the offices of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism in Walvis Bay yesterday, to deliver a petition to the Minister of Environment and Tourism not to grant an environmental go-ahead for marine phosphate mining. “Fish is for Life. Phosphate mining is not”, workers chanted and displaying placards which in no uncertain terms says phosphate mining is not welcome in Namibia. Seen here: Tunacor workers during the march.
