The Namibian Revolutionary Transport and Manufacturing Union (NARETU) will mark its fifth anniversary by shifting focus from traditional celebrations to a worker-focused outreach programme aimed at empowering employees through labour education, health awareness and financial guidance.

The union will host the ‘Naretu @ 5: Members Outreach’ on Saturday, 8 August 2026, at the public open space in front of the Sanlam Centre Building in Windhoek, where workers will have access to free consultations and services from various strategic partners.

Naretu secretary-general Petersen Kambinda said the anniversary represents more than just a milestone for the organisation, but an opportunity to recognise the workers who have contributed to its growth since its establishment in 2021.
