Salomo Hei on Hotel De Duine unfair waiter salaries

[PODCAST]

Hotel De Duine has come under fire after a Henties Bay Councillor made claims about unfair waiter salaries—claims the hotel insists are misleading and unverified.

At the center of the controversy is how tips are handled, with the hotel maintaining that their system is fully transparent and compliant with Namibia’s tax laws. They’ve even consulted with labour authorities to ensure they’re following the rules.

The hotel argues that the councillor’s statements have caused unnecessary uproar, especially since the information shared on social media was still under internal review and hadn’t been finalized.
