A magistrate found the evidence of one accused in the alleged multi-million-dollar Namcor corruption case to be truthful but ordered that she remain behind bars. 

The appeal against the refusal of bail for the NAMCOR corruption accused persons will be heard in the Windhoek High Court from 14 to 16 January.

The appeal is against a magistrate’s refusal to grant bail.

Justice Philanda Christiaan and Justice Eileen Rakow will hear the matter.

The Elindi brothers have taken their fight for freedom to the Windhoek High Court, arguing that the magistrate who denied them bail treated their evidence unfairly and branded them liars without justification.

The State has filed an application for leave to appeal the decision that granted bail to NAMCOR accused Cedric Willemse.

The State is accusing him of being part of a syndicate involved in misappropriating nearly N$400 million in public funds.

In a major development in the 'Fishrot' fishing quota fraud and corruption case, the Supreme Court has dismissed the bail appeals of six of the men charged in the case. The decision was announced earlier today.
