Windhoek – 8 August — A former chief executive of Enercon Namibia, Connie van Wyk (38), was granted bail of N$50 000 on Friday in connection with the ongoing corruption investigation involving the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (Namcor).
Van Wyk appeared before Magistrate Jurina Hochobes in the Windhoek Magistrate’s Court, where bail was granted on condition that he return to court on 25 August at 09h00.
He was arrested on 28 July alongside Austin Elindi, the son of Peter Elindi.
The case forms part of a widening investigation by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) into allegations of fraud, money laundering, and abuse of office linked to Namcor’s fuel procurement and supply contracts.
Court documents indicate that prosecutors believe Van Wyk, through Enercon Namibia, may have facilitated or benefited from deals that improperly diverted Namcor funds.
Magistrate Hochobes warned Van Wyk that failure to appear in court would result in the immediate cancellation of his bail, a warrant for his arrest, and provisional forfeiture of the bail amount to the state.
