The long-running multimillion-dollar environmental damage case brought by the Municipal Council of Windhoek against several industrial and fuel companies, including Namibia Dairies (Pty) Ltd, has advanced another step toward trial.
This follows a formal pre-trial order issued by the High Court in Windhoek.
The dispute stems from a major industrial pollution incident that allegedly occurred on 3 February 2019, when approximately 24 000 litres of heavy fuel oil (HFO) spilled from Namibia Dairies’ Avis factory following a safety valve failure in its boiler system.
