In a judgement, delivered on 16 May this year, Windhoek High Court Judge, Christie Liebenberg found both siblings Madisia and Mulundu guilty of impeding and obstructing the course of justice by attempting to conceal Shanon Wasserfall's death whist Madisia was convicted on two counts of fraud Judge Christie Liebenberg sentenced Madisia to eight

years with two years suspended, resulting in an effective six years of imprisonment on a charge of Defeating and/or Obstructing the Course of Justice, and two counts of insurance fraud, whilst Mulundu who was also found guilty of defeating or obstructing the course ofjustice,wassentencedto sixyears,ofwhichtwoare suspended, resulting in an effective four years of

Judge Liebenberg found thereisareasonablepossibility that Madisia's version about the events that resulted in the death of Wasserfall on 10 April 2020couldbetrue,andthat Madisia was not liable for Wasserfall's death The judge stated in his judgement that state relied entirelyonthefalsestatements by the accused when submitting that their actions are indicative of their unlawful killing of the deceasedwhichmaybeinferredincircumstanceswhere the cause of death is unknown.

Chamber of Mines Supports Value Addition to Namibia's Minerals

On 7 June, as quoted in the Cabinet decisionsissuedbytheMinisterofInformation, “Cabinet approved the prohibition forthe export of certain critical minerals such as, unprocessed crushed lithium ore, cobalt, manganese, graphite, and rare earth elements; and Cabinet approved those smaller quantities of the above-mentioned minerals may be allowed for export at the discretion of the Minister of Mines and EnergysubjecttoCabinetendorsement.”

The Chamber of Mines of Namibia wholeheartedly supports local value addition to all minerals produced in Namibia to grow the economy and create jobs. The Chamber welcomes the Cabinet decision on the understanding that Cabinet is referring to the ban on the exportofmineralores, meaningoresofallthe minerals mentioned in the Cabinet decision. According to the Chamber of Mines CEO, Veston Malango,“Itisnecessaryfor Governmenttocontrol andregulatetheexport ofunprocessedcritical mineralstosupportjob creation and grow the economy in line with

The measures taken by Government do not inhibit the valuable work being done by companies in Namibia, that intend to establish mining operations and processing facilities However, the Chamber is concerned that the

requirement for an endorsement by Cabinetonexportsoforein small quantities may unintentionally delay genuine test work being carried out by Chambermembersfor purposes of critical metallurgical test

of minerals for such purposesshouldnotbe unreasonablydelayed.

TheChamberofMines President, Mr Zebra Kasete expressed that the cabinet directive will not have any immediate repercussions on the future

plans of Chamber members, as they all haveplanstoaddvalue locally to the critical minerals at least to the concentrate level and retainjobsinNamibia.

“The Chamber will proactively engage Government to collec-
