The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) has taken legal action against the Namibian government and Russian billionaire Rashid Sardarov's company, Comsar SA, challenging a 99-year lease agreement on four farms in the Dordabis area.

Judge Orben Sibeya reserved his judgement for August 15, 2024.

In 2018, Comsar SA intended to purchase four commercial farms in the Dordabis area from private owners, although the law did not allow for such an arrangement.

A contractor has blocked a sewerage pond at Max Makushe Secondary School in the Kavango East Region due to what they regard as outstanding payments by the Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture.

The school has since suspended classes due to sewerage overflow.

The school has been struggling to get a permanent solution for the sewerage for almost five years.

The contractor, Empire Sense Investment, carried out what is referred to as emergency work for N$2 million.

The tender was awarded in November 2021.
