Eight men convicted in one of the Caprivi treason trials have successfully petitioned the Supreme Court after the High Court dismissed their application for leave to appeal.
After the announcement of the Supreme Court ruling, Acting Judge Petrus Unengu of the Windhoek High Court postponed the matter to October 28, 2015 so that the accused can in the meantime obtain the outcome of the appeal.
The Acting Judge in March this year dismissed the group’s application for leave to appeal. They then petitioned the Supreme Court.

A political analyst has compared the looming expulsion of Swapo youth politicians from the party to that of firebrand South African politician Julius Malema when he was booted by the African National Congress (ANC).
However, political commentator Nico Horn said the beleaguered Swapo Party Youth League (SPYL) politicians will be a stronger force than Malema and his camp when they were in the African National Congress (ANC) youth wing.

The leaders of the Affirmative Repositioning movement have heeded President Hage Geingob’s call for dialogue, 11 days before their deadline.
Geingob has announced that he is willing to work with land activists Job Amupanda, George Kambala and Dee Nauyoma at government level.
This move was seen to be contrary to the decision of the Swapo Politburo, which Geingob chairs, that called for the expulsion of the three from the party due to their involvement with the AR.

The two accused businessmen made another appearance in the Windhoek Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Jarmaine Muchali yesterday morning, when they were informed that their trial will resume on January 20 next year.
The trial was postponed because the parties involved in the matter are still waiting for the High Court to hand down a ruling on Aupindi and Di Savino’s application for the recusal of Windhoek Magistrate Helvi Kauna Shilemba from the trial, which is still pending in the High Court.

The Oshana police chief, Commissioner Ndahangwapo Kashihakumwa, has denied rumours of his resignation.
Speaking to Namibian Sun yesterday, Kashihakumwa said he got wind of unconfirmed reports that he is stepping down, but was quick to nip the rumours in the bud.
“There is no truth to such information. People sometimes create stories but I can safely say that I have not resigned, nor am I leaving the region anytime soon. Should I ever leave, that news would come from me first,” said Kashihakumwa.
