Staff Writer

The High Court has reserved judgment in a N$1.6 million civil lawsuit brought by an inmate who alleges he was assaulted by members of the Namibian Police Force (NamPol), the Namibian Defence Force (NDF), and anti-poaching officers following his arrest near Otavi in 2023.

Justice Marelize Du Plessis on Wednesday postponed the matter to 23 July 2026, when judgment is expected to be delivered after hearing submissions from both parties.
