The delivery of a judgement on activist Michael Amushelelo’s attempt to get a court order for the removal of speed humps installed on the Western Bypass road in Windhoek has been postponed to Friday.
Judge Gabriel Komboni informed Amushelelo in the Windhoek High Court on Tuesday that his judgement on Amushelelo’s urgent application against the minister of works and transport, Veikko Nekundi, and the Roads Authority (RA) is not yet ready, and would be delivered on Friday.
Amushelelo is asking the court to declare the installation of speed humps on the Western Bypass road in the vicinity of Windhoek’s Northern Industrial Area unlawful, not in compliance with the Road Traffic and Transport Act of 1999 and a public hazard.
He is also asking the court to compel the minister of works and transport and the RA to immediately, or within 24 hours after the court has issued such an order, remove the speed humps placed on the Western Bypass.
Lastly, Amushelelo is requesting the court to issue an interdict that would stop the minister and the RA from constructing or authorising any further speed humps on any national highway or designated freeway in Namibia.
Komboni heard oral arguments on the urgent application on 12 June.
