The Windhoek High Court has postponed its judgement in the application by Fishrot accused Nigel van Wyk, who is seeking to have nine charges against him dismissed.

The High Court is expected to deliver a ruling today on whether nine charges against Fishrot accused Nigel van Wyk will be dropped.

The High Court has dismissed Tamson Hatuikulipi’s application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court following the refusal of his most recent bail application. 

The Fishrot trial has been adjourned to 4 February 2025 due to ongoing legal disputes and representation issues.

Justice Moses Chinhengo urged the accused, including former ministers Sakeus Shanghala and Bernhard Esau, to secure legal representation to ensure a fair trial.

The corruption case involving senior officials at Zambezi Regional Council has provisionally been withdrawn on instruction by the Office of the Prosecutor General to the Katima Mulilo District Court.

The two remaining suspects in the Zambezi Regional Council corruption case involving more than N$4.6 million made a brief court appearance in the Katima Mulilo Magistrate Court this morning.
