Windhoek, 4 August — The Anti-Corruption Commission’s (ACC) lead investigator, Oberty Inambao, testified in the Windhoek Magistrate’s Court on Monday in the ongoing bail hearing involving former Namcor executives accused of corruption and procurement violations.
Inambao told Magistrate Linus Samanzula that the investigation began in June 2024 following an anonymous tip-off which alleged that Cedric Willemse, then Namcor’s Logistics Executive, had been depositing unusually large amounts of money into his personal bank account. The case was later reinforced by a referral from the Namibian Police.
The police docket, Inambao confirmed, names Willemse, Jennifer Hamukwaya, and Olivia Dunaiski as suspects. The three allegedly bypassed company procedures to supply petroleum products worth N$277 million to Enercon and Erongo Petroleum between August 2022 and May 2023.
Inambao also revealed that former Namcor Managing Director Immanuel Mulunga is implicated. He allegedly authorised an Asset Purchase Agreement without following internal procurement protocols.
“The Asset Purchase Agreement was entered into without proper approval from the company’s governance structures,” said Inambao.
The case is being handled jointly by the ACC and the Namibian Police, with the ACC leading the investigation. The matter has intensified public and political scrutiny of Namcor, as the government continues a wider forensic audit into the state-owned company’s dealings.
