Your question
Can you get fired if you haven't received 3 warnings yet?
No. None of the supplied sources say an employee must receive three warnings before being dismissed; the materials do not establish a “three‑warning” rule 4.
The Local Authorities regulations expressly allow termination for specified grounds (including misconduct) and permit summary dismissal if an employee is “found guilty of an act of misconduct” 4; the Namibia Central Intelligence Service regulations provide for discharge on grounds such as inefficiency, continued ill health and long absence without leave 123, and include an appeal right against discharge or reduction in rank or grade 6.
These documents are regulations made under Acts (see their titles), so if there were any conflict between an Act and a regulation the Act would control; the supplied materials do not state a three‑warning requirement in either the Acts’ regulations shown here 14.
