The Fishrot corruption trial, set to commence today before High Court Judge Moses Chinhengo, has been postponed to Thursday, 6 February, due to the judge's unavailability.

Sacky Shanghala, the corruption-accused former Minister of Justice, Attorney General, and Chairperson of the Law Reform Commission of Namibia, faced difficulties today in convincing the court on how to proceed with his appeal. 

The bail hearing of the former Fisheries and Marine Resources Minister, Bernhardt Esau, has been postponed to the 9th of June.

Esau is implicated in one of the biggest multimillion-dollar fishing corruption scandals.

The case involving Heaven's Ark Housing Organization and developer Stefan Malan was postponed to May 12 in the Windhoek Regional Court, pending further investigations.

It is alleged that Malan had an agreement with the organization that owns the land to build houses for them.
