The Keetmanshoop Magistrate's Court has given the state 30 days to obtain the Prosecutor General's decision on the murder case of two police officers accused of killing a local resident, Elleste Plaatjies.

The state, represented by Prosecutor Marlong Adam, asked for a third postponement when the cases of Mulisa Bernard and Willbard Neshuku resumed.

The police officers were arrested in January of this year.

The Windhoek High Court has provisionally withdrawn a case in which the members of Heaven Ark Housing are demanding their land and credentials back, which were allegedly taken by the developer Stefan Malan.

The withdrawal of the case has left the group in dismay.

The High Court indicated that the provisional withdrawal of the case was due to the death of the initial complainant and that new instructions had been given to obtain alternative statements.
