The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, James Sankwasa, has appointed a committee to investigate the Vaalgras Traditional Authority leadership succession dispute. 

Urban and Rural Development Minister James Sankwasa has raised concerns about succession disputes within traditional authorities. 

He raised the issue during his address at the belated independence celebration at Mukwe in Kavango East over the weekend.

The judiciary says it won't get involved in informal discussions on presidential succession.

The Office of the Judiciary has issued a statement regarding the ongoing public discourse on the presidential succession following the passing of President Dr. Hage G. Geingob. 

The unexpected death of Namibian President Hage Geingob will not leave a leadership vacuum in the country, as the Constitution clearly stipulates succession when the president becomes incapacitated or dies.
