The High Court in Windhoek is set to hear arguments on Friday regarding the recusal of Zimbabwean Judge Moses Chinhengo from the ongoing Fishrot trial. 

Nigel van Wyk, a key figure in the scandal, is seeking the judge's recusal, alleging bias and fears of not receiving a fair trial.

Van Wyk's lawyer, Mbanga Siyomunji, filed the notice of motion with the court, highlighting instances where they believe the judge showed bias and violated their constitutional rights. 

The ongoing Fishrot trial has been suspended again after defence lawyer Mbanga Siyomunji filed a recusal motion against Judge Moses Chinhengo.

Siyomunji's client, Nigel Van Wyk, accuses Chinhengo of bias in his application, saying that he fears an unfair trial with Chinhengo on the bench.

The recusal of Judge Chinhengo was first brought to the fore when some accused persons wanted an extended postponement of the matter, citing a lack of funds to secure legal representation of their choice.
