Louren Skrywer had high hopes when she was offered a position as a domestic worker at the Namibia n embassy in the United States .
Imene-Chanduru, who in 2018 served as president-elect Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah's personal assistant, could be up for a senior position, such as that of international relations minister, in the next administration.Skr ywer claims she was subjected to involuntary servitude, forced labour and unlawful passport possession while working as Imene-Chanduru's nanny in Washington between 2007 and 2011.Skrywer has sued Imene-Chanduru and her husband, Simbarashe Britone Chanduru.
In a 16-page brief submitted on 25 October, defence lawyer Donna Beasley criticised Skrywer for providing what she called"vague and boilerplate" responses to requests for information. Beasley also accused Skrywer of blocking access to documents related to her immigration status.However, the defence claims it only learned of this development after questioning Skrywer for over five hours in August.
Sources say Nandi-Ndaitwah's former personal assistant could be appointed in the eight-member list to parliament and subsequently become the minister of international relations and cooperation."However, I respect the judicial process and remain confident that the matter will be resolved to reflect the principles and ethos of justice."
"My faith remains steadfast that the truth will prevail, and I remain committed to serving my country without fear or favour."
