Lawyer Kadhila Amoomo has announced that they will not be pursuing the bail application for Michael Amushelelo. Instead, the legal team will focus on the bail application for Dimbulukeni Nauyoma. The two lawyers are providing pro bono representation for the activists.

According to the legal team, they have enlisted the services of an advocate to assist in the defense of Amushelelo. Postponing his bail application will allow the advocate to have ample time to consult with the client.

The Keetmanshoop Magistrate's Court has reserved judgment in the bail application of two police officers, Mulisa Bernard Mulisa and Willbard Neshuku, accused of murdering Elleste Plaatjie.

The duo faces charges of murder and assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Lawyer Martino Olivier, representing Mulisa and Neshuku, argued the state could not sustain the grounds on which it was opposing the granting of bail to his clients.

Tamson 'Fitty' Hatuikulipi, one of the key figures in the "Fishrot" fishing quotas fraud and corruption case, was denied bail by a High Court Judge.

Acting Judge David Munsu says while the court accepts the new facts brought to court by Hatuikulipi imploring the court to release him, they do not change the grounds on which he had previously been denied bail.

This was the businessman's third attempt to be granted bail.

The Anti-Corruption Commission's Chief Investigator, Andreas Kanyangela, says Fishrot suspect Tamson Hatuikulipi is being evasive with his side of the story on what transpired in the alleged fraud scandal.

Kanyangela leads the probe into the Fishrot scandal, of which Hatuikulipi is among 11 accused, including companies or trusts they own or co-own.

The lead investigator of the Anti-Corruption Commission, Andreas Kanyangela, has again objected to the granting of bail to Tamson Hatuikulipi, one of the accused in the fishrot case.

Kanyangela says Hatuikulipi was key in assisting the Icelandic fishing company, Samherji, to gain access to fishing quotas which were allocated to three right holders.
