The bail hearing of the former NAMCOR corruption accused is scheduled to continue in the Windhoek Magistrate's Court on Monday.

Jennifer Hamukwaya, one of several individuals arrested three weeks ago in connection with alleged fraud and corruption at NAMCOR, informed Magistrate Linus Samunzala that she can afford to pay N$10,000 bail.

Only one of the accused, Lydia Elindi, has been granted bail so far for N$50,000.

Hamukwaya is denying allegations that she received N$1.4 million in payments from Enercon Namibia, Erongo Petroleum, and Oshali Fuel Centre.

The state alleges that the payments were made to a close corporation, Panduleni Farming, owned by her husband, Panduleni Hamukwaya, between May 2022 and May 2023.

According to the state, Hamukwaya corruptly authorised the supply of petroleum products to the three fuel firms, which allegedly led to a N$274 million loss to NAMCOR.

Hamukwaya told the court that she was part of a credit committee that set limits for NAMCOR customers and did not authorise fuel supplies herself.

She named former managing director Imms Mulunga and supply and logistics manager Cedric Willemse as other members of the committee.

Willemse, who is also facing charges in the matter, has informed the court of his intention to apply for bail following the withdrawal of his legal representative, Milton Engelbrecht.

He will now be represented by lawyer Boris Isaacks.

The court will hear the formal bail applications of Austin Elindi and Connie Van Wyk on 13 and 14 August.

Austin is represented by Marco Kazondana of Sisa Namandje Law Firm, while Van Wyk is represented by Pieter Greyling.

Elindi, Van Wyk, and Willemse are charged under the Anti-Corruption Act and the Prevention of Organised Crime Act.
