Heidi Boois, a former Bank Windhoek employee, is facing charges linked to the alleged redirection of millions of NAMCOR funds to a fraudulently opened bank account.

The number of charges in the ongoing NAMCOR corruption case has risen to 71. 

The State has not yet fully disclosed the relevant documents to the legal representatives of the accused.

Today, in the Zambezi Region, the Kongola settlement witnessed protests by local residents.

The cause of their unrest? A decision to grant bail to six regional council employees who are currently facing fraud charges.
