The High Court of Namibia has ordered the immediate reinstatement of two Keetmanshoop municipality management committee members who were removed through a vote of no confidence last month.

In a ruling delivered on Monday before justice Thomas Masuku, the court granted urgent interim relief to applicants Easter Isaak and Anneliza Knaus, effectively halting the implementation of the municipality’s decision to remove them from office.

The dispute stems from resolutions adopted by the Keetmanshoop municipal council on 7 May and 4 June, in which a vote of no confidence was passed against the two councillors, leading to their removal from the management committee.
