South African national Chante Coetzee, who was arrested last year after her extradition from Zambia on charges of motor vehicle theft, has pleaded guilty to all charges in the Katima Mulilo Magistrate's Court.

Coetzee sold a stolen vehicle to an unknown person, which contravened the Combating Organised Crime Act.

During her first appearance in the Katima Mulilo Magistrate's Court in February this year, the state objected to granting Coetzee bail, arguing that she was a flight risk and that releasing her would not be in the interest of the administration of justice.

Coetzee pleaded guilty to stealing and selling a Toyota pickup belonging to Kuomboka Investment and money laundering.

Coetzee allegedly fled into Zambia with the vehicle, using an illegal point of entry along the Namibia-Zambia border line at Katima Mulilo.

Coetzee rented the vehicle to tour Namibia but ended up in Zambia without the owner's consent from 24 June to July last year.

She was only arrested in Lusaka, Zambia, on the 18th of October last year when she attempted to re-enter Zambia.

She was then extradited to Namibia, where she was wanted.

Magistrate Barry Mufana was satisfied that Coetzee admitted guilt to the charges.

However, the court was not satisfied that Coetzee could not be convicted of the offence of acquiring, possessing, or using proceeds for unlawful activities.

Mufana explained that convicting the accused on those grounds would suggest a duplication of charges related to the element of theft.

Public Prosecutor Bruna Mukoya will present evidence to support the prosecution's case.

Cioetzee's case was postponed to the 16th of next month for the state to argue the second charge, considering the amendment to the same act.

The accused conducted her own defence.
