A Windhoek lawyer, Gilroy Kasper of Murorua, Kurts Kasper Incorporated, has threatened to drag the Ministry of Health and Social Services to the Windhoek High Court after the state mortuary in the capital allegedly lost the body of a new-born baby.

The baby was born to parents Petra Pienaar and Geralld Garieseb on December 25.

According to Pienaar, her baby died during birth at the Katutura State Hospital in December last year.

After she and the father of the baby boy were shown the body, the body was moved to the state mortuary at the Central Hospital.

The trial of four Sibalatani family members accused of having shot and killed Lemmy Mutonga, 52, in 2019, was postponed to tomorrow (Wednesday) by the Katima Mulio Regional Court.

All four accused persons—George, his father Clements, Clayton, and Patrick Sibalatani—pleaded not guilty to the murder charges at the start of the trial in August last year.

Mutonga was shot as he and his other family members were returning cattle to Naziabo in the Nankuntwe area of the Kabbe South constituency after the water subsided.

The fight between Trustco and the Bank of Namibia is far from over, as the two were again involved in a tit-for-tat this week, with a judgement against the central bank and a fresh application by the latter to have Trustco Bank liquidated.

The Bank of Namibia made a fresh application to the High Court that Trustco Bank be liquidated on November 2, and a day later, on November 3, a client of Trustco won an application in the High Court preventing and stopping the central bank from its intentions to take steps against the private bank.
