NAMCOR has approached top lawyer Sisa Namandje, threatening to approach the court for the daily publication “The Namibian".

“The Namibian” last week published leading stories surrounding troubles at the parastatal.

One of its headlines read 'NAMCOR board investigates Mulunga for N$100 million Angola oil blocks payment' and another 'NAMCOR's power struggle exposes suspicious deals'.

The lawyer said the two articles published by The Namibian were not published in the public interest but rather in a manner that disregards NAMCOR's rights.

Sisa Namandje said, “We have been instructed to demand, as we hereby do, that The Namibian forthwith desists from any future publication of articles based on information obtained through the unlawful intrusion of our client's confidentiality and corporate privacy, failing which we have instructions to approach the High Court for an urgent interdict and to seek punitive costs,”

He stated that his client in the strongest terms, denies all statements made that suggest mismanagement, corruption or self-enrichment.
