The three Swapo Party representatives in the ||Kharas Regional Council filed an urgent High Court interdict on Friday, seeking a reversal of the council's decision to terminate their memberships.

The three—Lazarus Nangolo, Taimi Amakali, and Suzan Ndjaleka—were relieved from council duties because they absconded from meetings and refused to accept vacant council management committee positions.

Ten of the electricity licence holders who have not applied for their annual review with the Electricity Control Board (ECB) were accorded amnesty.

ECB initiated to adjust their annual tariff from October 1st, 2023, for post-paid and prepaid; the effective date is October 24th, 2023.

 ||Kharas Regional Council, Berseba Village Council, and Gibeon Village Council were accorded a 10% tariff adjustment, although they didn't apply for their annual tariff hike.

The Chairperson of the ||Kharas Regional Council, Josef Isaacks, has called for the charges against the Karasburg Mayor, the Management Committee Chairperson, and a staff member in the office of the Karasburg CEO's to be dropped.

Isaacks said this in a media statement following the arrest of the trio yesterday by the Anti-Corruption Commission.

Isaacks said the Karasburg Town Council did not conspire on charges, nor did the mayor abuse her powers to warrant the ACC's intervention.
