A group of Swapo veterans under the Former Refugees Repatriation Association of Namibia petitioned the minister of justice and labour relations over an alleged two-month delay in a High Court case where they are suing Swapo for N$25 million, which has remained without a hearing date since June 6. The veterans, who have been camping at Swapo headquarters since October 2025 demanding N$21.6 million allegedly allocated by the United Nations for their reintegration, say the delay has caused frustration and uncertainty.

Windhoek High Court Judge Gabriel Komboni dismissed Swapo's urgent application to evict war veterans camping at its headquarters, ruling the application lacked urgency.
