JUST IN: NAU added as defendants in Red Line legal battle
The Namibia Agricultural Union (NAU) has been added as the eighth defendant in the legal action regarding the removal of the Veterinary Cordon Fence (VCF).
Affirmative Repositioning (AR) activist Job Amupanda filed a case on 26 May last year, seeking a court order to have the fence removed and declared illegal and unconstitutional.
He listed agriculture minister Calle Schlettwein, the government, attorney-general Festus Mbandeka and an official in the directorate of veterinary services, Hango Nambinga, as defendants in the matter.
However, the Meat Board of Namibia was added as a fifth defendant after it asked for leave to intervene.
Two commercial farmers have also joined as third parties against the case.
The matter has now been postponed to 7 February for allocation of a hearing date.
