A case in which two SWAPO members have filed an urgent application to stop the party’s extraordinary congress, will be heard in the High Court on Tuesday. Mirjam Shituula and Selma Namboga filed the urgent case about two weeks ago, seeking to stop the upcoming extraordinary congress and challenge SWAPO’s sixth congress held last year. Their defence lawyer, Boris Isaacks, told NBC News that they both laid a complaint with the party in February this year, about irregularities in the selection of delegates to last year’s congress. He said Shituula and Namboga allege that more than 100 of the over 700 delegates to last year’s congress attended it unlawfully.
