RedForce Takes Henties Bay Municipality to Court Over Contract Termination
RedForce Debt Management has taken legal action to stop theHentiesBayMunicipalityfromendingitsdebtrecovery contract, filing an urgent application with the Windhoek HighCourt.
The company argues that the municipality's decision to terminate their contract is not only unjust but also damaging, claiming it hascaused“severeand irreparable harm.” In its court filing, RedForce seeks a suspension of the termination while a full review of the matter is conducted.The company contends that it has complied with all terms of the contract and is unawareofanybreachon itspart.
According to RedForce, the municipality issued termination notices in Sep-
tember and October without a clear basis, leaving the company blindsided. RedForce is requestingthecourtdeclare these notices null and void. The Henties BayMunicipality,however, asserts that the decision to cancel was necessary Since the contract began, the municipality claims its outstanding debt has risenfromN$52million toN$62million,raising concerns about the effectiveness of RedForce's management
The municipality further alleges that RedForce improperly claimed payments and
notes that the original contract was signed outside the bid's validityperiod.Theyargue that extending the contract is not in the public's best interest given the increased debt.HighCourtJudge George Coleman is scheduled to hear the case as both parties await the court's decision on whether the contract will be reinstated or ultimately terminated.
This case could have a significant impact on how municipal debt management contracts are handled in the future.

Namibia is set to become a leader in green hydrogen production,thankstoanewIron-to-Hydrogen(I2H)technology developed by the Climate Neutrality Foundation (CNF) in collaboration with the Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme(NGH2P)andtheHyIron-Oshivelaproject.

Nampol has sent out a stern warning to liquor outlets countrywide, noting that the Namibian Police Force will strictly enforce the LiquorAct 1998 (Act. 6 of 1998) considering the upcoming National Assembly and Presidential electionsandschoolexaminations.
Inapressrelease,theheadofNampol's public relations division, Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi strongly urges liquor outletstooperateundertheconditions ofthebindinglicenses.Shefurther calls for noise reduction to allow learnerstostudyinconduciveenvironments.
Shikwambi warned that anyone failing to adhere to their stipulated liquor license, causing noise pollution or sell liquor to persons under the age of eighteen will be dealt with in accordance with the law or suffer the consequences of losingtheirlicensesorpermits.The
Nampol spokesperson further warned against drinking in public, playing cards or dominoes in public spacessuchasparksandstreets,asit isillegalaspertheby-laws.“Officers willmaintainvigilanceinpreventing publicdrinking,whichoftenleadstot public disturbances and street fights,”thestatementreads.

steam, DRI re-leases hydrogen gas, which can then be stored, transported, or used directly for clean energy production Unlike traditional methods such as electrolysis or ammonia cracking, which can cost up to N$12 350 per megawatt-hour, this new technology can reduce hydrogen costs to N$8 540 per megawatt-hour This local focus will leverage existing iron ore reserves and vast renewable resources,
potentially positioningNamibiaasagoto resource hub for green hydrogen. The impact of this shift goesbeyondenergy;it could fuel job creation, skills training, and economic growth within Namibia, as well as attract international investors looking for sustainable energy solutions. As demand for clean energy grows worldwide,Namibia'sadoption of I2H technologyreinforcesitsrole in advancing green
industrialisation and contributes to global climate goals This investment in hydrogen technology also enhances Namibia's reputation as a leader in renewable energy research and development, promoting scientific and technical expertise that aligns with STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) advancements. For Namibia, the economic and environmental potentialofI2Htechnology
could transform the countryintoasustainable industry leader on the world stage. NGH2P, CNF, and their partners remain committed to expanding research and building on this promising technology, creating a model of renewableenergythat could inspire and be replicated across the globe.
