Namibian media reporting on rape cases, PLEASE start to take note. From the Combating of Rape Act of 2000: “no person shall publish in any manner whatever any information which might reveal the identity of any complainant in the proceedings”. Thank you.

Having noted a hysterical rush to judgement against @TheNamibian today I can safely but regretfully conclude that the old apartheid leaders would've been proud of current Namibian wannabe radicals' embrace of racial classification and focus on people's skin colour.

Former fisheries minister Bernhard Esau and some of his amigos were back in the dock in the Windhoek Magistrate's Court on charges of corruption, fraud and money laundering today. Should I guess this photo means "Viva, Swapo, Viva!"? https://t.co/cjaJ95wEEK

Rampant conspiracy theorists, think of this a bit, if you can:

The validity of elections in which EVMs without verifiable paper trail were used is not affected by the ruling that it was unconstitutional to not implement the Electoral Act's requirement of a verifiable paper trail for EVMs, Supreme Court says. #NamElectionChallenge

The Supreme Court also declines setting aside the ECN's decision to use EVMs without a verifiable paper trail in the 2019 presidential election. #NamElectionChallenge

The Supreme Court declines to order a re-run of Namibia's 2019 presidential election. Another key point in the #NamElectionChallenge

Although the candidates challenging the 2019 presidential election claim some EVMs malfunctioned during the election, they did not contend the machines had been tampered with, the chief justice says. #NamElectionChallenge

Having found that the decision to allow the use of EVMs without a verifiable paper trail was unconstitutional, the court now considers whether this should mean the 2019 presidential election should be set aside. #NamElectionChallenge

A key point reached in the #NamElectionChallenge judgement: The Supreme Court finds the decision to allow the use of electronic voting machines without a verifiable paper trail was unconstitutional and should be set aside.

A paper trail is an indispensable requirement for free & fair elections, the Supreme Court of India has held. It would appear this is precisely what Namibia's parliament also intended in the 2014 Electoral Act, the chief justice says. #NamElectionChallenge
