The case of eight people accused of land grabbing in Okahandja was postponed to June 19, despite the withdrawal of it by the Chief Executive Officer of the town, Alphons Tjitombo.

Prosecutor Sirka Nangolo requested the postponement of the case due to the missing documents from the docket. 

The accused were not pleased, as they were hoping to have the case, which. has been dragging on for four years, closed.

In 2020, a group of Okahandja residents occupied land illegally in the area known as Promise Land.

The unoccupied land at the time is now home to 3,000 residents, who are provided with tap water, and many have fenced-off portions of land.
