The president of the United Democratic Fund (UDF), Hendrik Gaobaeb, raised concerns around the ongoing dispute between the Kunene Regional Council and the Minister of Urban and Rural Development, highlighting wasteful use of public funds on private lawyers.

NAMDIA has dismissed the defence filed by security company G4S in the High Court as "utterly contrived" and one that is "poor and improper".

Lawyer Florian Beukes, who represents the Magistrates and Judges Association, has accused Justice Minister Wise Immanuel of referencing laws that do not exist.

G4S Namibia says that a lawsuit filed by NAMDIA is vague and lacks sufficient detail to assess the alleged loss.

NAMDIA seeks N$314 million in damages following a diamond theft at its headquarters on January 18.

On Friday, Amushelelo, a social justice activist, accused the new minister of raping a 16-year-old girl, which allegedly led to a pregnancy and subsequent abortion.

In a social media post, he claimed that Hengari had drugged the minor before engaging with her.
