The bail hearing of the former Fisheries and Marine Resources Minister, Bernhardt Esau, has been postponed to the 9th of June.

Esau is implicated in one of the biggest multimillion-dollar fishing corruption scandals.

In today's hearing, the former minister confirmed having received an amount of N$150,000 in his farming account from his son-in-law, Tamson Hatukuilipi, in 2012.

The court wanted Esau to explain the transaction, to which he replied that it was payment for 25 cattle he sold to Hatukulipi.

The case involving Heaven's Ark Housing Organization and developer Stefan Malan was postponed to May 12 in the Windhoek Regional Court, pending further investigations.

It is alleged that Malan had an agreement with the organization that owns the land to build houses for them.

He is accused of having failed to honor that deal, though.

About 1,000 members of the organization claim the developer benefited at their expense, having built close to 600 units for himself at the Otjomuise plot.
