Chinese company Xinfeng Investments succeeded in its urgent application to the High Court that Mines and Energy Minister Tom Alweendo stop revoking its lithium mining licence.

The Windhoek High Court this morning (Tuesday) interdicted the Mines and Energy Minister, Tom Alweendo, to revoke Xinfeng Investments' lithium mining licence.

Alweendo alleged that Xinfeng, in its application for the licence, provided fraudulent information among others to acquire the licence.
