The State has requested a further postponement in the matter in which cannabis activist Jaftha Brian is seeking a court order to legalise the use of dagga in Namibia.

Government lawyers have filed documents indicating that the matter be postponed to September 12 for a case management conference, citing the complexity and constitutional questions raised in the matter.

In March of this year, government lawyer Jabulani Ncube informed the court that the matter had been postponed to enable the defendants to await recommendations from the Law Reform and Development Commission.
