A bail application for several of the eight individuals accused in the high-profile Namcor multi-million dollar corruption case is set to be heard in the Windhoek Magistrates' Court on Monday.

The accused, including former Namcor Managing Director Immanuel Mulunga, made a brief appearance in court this afternoon.

 Other accused individuals are Jennifer Hamukwaya, Olivia Dunaiski, Cornelius Willemse, Peter Elindi, Malakia Elindi, Lydia Elindi, and Panduleni Hamukwaya.

In addition, five corporate entities—Enercon Namibia, Onyeka Clearing and Forwarding, Nyambali Medical Centre, Panduleni Farming, and Parkwood Petroleum Logistics—also face charges in this case.

All defendants are facing multiple counts under the Prevention of Organised Crime Act and the Anti-Corruption Act, with the state alleging that the case involves over N$ 480 million dollars. 

The prosecution opposes bail, arguing that the accused may interfere with investigations or abscond.

Further complicating matters, five additional arrests are anticipated.

During today's session, legal counsel Gilroy Kasper, representing Olivia Dunaiski, informed the court that the investigating officer confiscated Dunaiski's mobile phone and demanded her PIN and password without providing any official documentation at the time of her arrest. 

Lawyers for Immanuel Mulunga, Jennifer Hamukwaya, Panduleni Hamukwaya, and the Elindi brothers expressed similar concerns and indicated that they may use this conduct as part of their bail arguments.

 Sisa Namandje, representing the Elindi brothers, stated that the state has not disclosed all documents implicating his clients.

 He requested the court to order full disclosure from the prosecution and sought to stay proceedings until the state "gets its house in order."

 Namandje also accused investigators of leaking sensitive case information to the media.

The legal team for Jennifer and Panduleni Hamukwaya informed the court that the couple is married with minor children and requested bail for Jennifer to enable her to care for them. 

Cornelius Willemse's lawyer, Milton Engelbrecht, stated that he would review the docket over the weekend before deciding on a bail application.

Meanwhile, the state confirmed that two additional suspects linked to the case are expected to appear in court either tomorrow or Monday.
