The leader of the Affirmative Repositioning (AR), Dr. Job Amupanda, has announced a significant win in the ongoing case over the veterinary cordon fence popularly known as the Red Line.

Amupanda confirmed that his team secured a protective cost order, shielding them from financial liabilities in the ongoing legal battle.

He alleged that government officials, including Minister of Agriculture, Water, and Forestry Carl Schlettwein, attempted to deter the case with "high-cost legal manoeuvres." However, Amupanda stated that this victory enabled a renewed push to dismantle what he called "a colonial instrument" upheld for over 120 years.

The trial is set for 20 to 31 January 2025, with Amupanda expressing confidence in his legal team.
