Abstract:

Judge Collins Parker on Monday in the High Court in Windhoek struck down the counter-application of Ottilie Ndimulunde to an urgent court application by two communal conservation areas in the Kunene region, a traditional authority and tourism company. "The first respondent came to play rugby, but the game is a football game, so to speak," Parker argued in the court order, declaring the four applicants' case regarding a new road to a tin mine urgent. The four applicants are the conservation areas of Doro ! Nawas and Ûibasen Twyfelfontein, as well as the ≠Aodaman Traditional Authority and Ultimate Safaris. According to the court order, Ndimulunde - the first respondent – or any person employed or acting under her direction is prohibited from using heavy machinery, including road scrapers, excavators and seesaw trucks, in any way whatsoever to construct any new road from the D2612 road in a westerly direction to a mining site in the Khorixas district. Any new roads, roadworks, or vehicle tracks are also prohibited on Farms 535 Try and 527 Turn Corner in the Khorixas district by the court order.
