The Affirmative Repositioning, AR, movement has threatened to take Government to court over its failure to honour an agreement signed between the two in April 2016. The parties agreed, among others, that the state would put it into operation the Rent Ordinance Control Board as provided for by the Rent Ordinance Act 13 of 1977 as a matter of urgency. AR now claims that this did not happen. The movement’s co-founder, Job Amupanda, says Government officials are deliberately ignoring the proposed changes for personal gain. The AR also demanded that estate agents be registered and issued with the required documentation such as an active Fidelity Fund Certificate. Nampa reported in February 2016 that there were 40 unregistered estate agents selling properties illegally at Swakopmund and Walvis Bay. The movement also resolved that Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila would in line with Section 33 of the Rent Ordinance Act summon the Namibia Estate Agents Board to review and address the escalating property prices. Amupanda told Nampa that the AR has appointed lawyers to assist members of the public to claim damages of rental rates which have been charged beyond what is stipulated in the Rent Ordinance Act 13 of 1977. Approached for comment on whether Government was aware of the threat, Information, Communication and Technology Minister Tjekero Tweya said they were not aware of the legal threat.
