Namibia Wildlife Resorts must pay former boss Matthias Ngwangwama 1.5 million dollars after firing him wrongly. The government tourism company broke contract rules when they failed to give proper notice before letting him go. Company leaders should have told Ngwangwama six months before his contract ended but only gave him one month warning. He took the case to court and won through a settlement agreement reached during May.

Tourism Minister Indileni Daniel confirmed the payment equals one full year of salary for the former managing director. Legal documents show the resort company violated clear contract terms about advance notice requirements. Sources say board members decided to remove Ngwangwama because he opposed privatization deals they wanted to approve. The firing happened during controversy over land lease agreements that could cost the company millions in lost revenue.

The minister cancelled a job advertisement for the vacant position to ensure better hiring practices. Daniel wants a transparent selection process to find strong leadership for the troubled organization. A new managing director should be chosen within six months through proper procedures. Board members will take turns running the company until they find a permanent replacement. The resort company has faced public criticism over recent business decisions and management problems.
