Judgement expected in Fishrot recusal case

Breadcrumb

Fishrot accused Nigel Van Wyk will hear tomorrow if Judge Moses Chinhengo will recuse himself from presiding over the largest corruption scandal Namibia has seen.

Van Wyk, through his lawyer Mbanga Siyumunji, applied for the recusal of Chinhengo, citing bias and fear of not receiving a fair trial.

Since the Fishrot matter broke in 2019, it has continued to face hurdles.

The trial has been marred by numerous interlocutory applications, failed bail applications, and lengthy postponements.
