Both submitted their applications for recognition.<br \/>\nThe tense period appeared to be over when Minister Mushelenga on 10 June approved Nangolo\u2019s application, but the hope was short lived.<br \/>\nThe legal representatives of Konis Kalenga, the other claiming who also applied for recognition, reacted by giving the Government until 19 June to reverse its decision or risk being dragged to court.<br \/>\nThe faction of the Ondonga Traditional Authority (OTA) that supports Kalenga met at Oluno in Ondangwa on 16 June and resolved to apply to the court for urgent relief to interdict and restrain Nangolo and\/or any other person from implementing the Minister\u2019s decision or to take any steps in pursuance of the implementation thereof pending the finalization of the review application.<br \/>\nThe OTA faction further resolved to appoint the Shikongo Law Chambers to institute the aforesaid proceedings.<br \/>\nThe resolutions of the said meeting were signed by traditional councillors Oscar Sheehama, Selma Shejavali, Nepando Amupanda, Erastus Mvula, Naeman Fillemon, Reinhold Nepolo, Konis Kalenga and Frans Shidhudhu.<br \/>\n\u201cNone of them is a gazetted traditional councillor. Their resolutions are therefore null and void,\u201d said Kashona Malulu, the spokesperson of the other faction that supports Nangolo.<br \/>\n\u201cAll the gazetted traditional councillors of Ondonga are with us. We are the OTA, not them,\u201d he said referring to the Oluno-based faction.<br \/>\nWith the latest developments, many Aandonga have expressed dismay at the seemingly unending squabbling and the uncompromising attitude of those involved.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-265595\" src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AMARULA.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Placido Hilukilwa MEMBERS of the Ondonga traditional community &#8211; whether residing in the Ondonga tribal areas in the Oshikoto, Ohangwena and Oshana regions or living elsewhere in the country &#8211; have been busy for the past weeks preparing for and are looking forward to the official installation of their new king slotted for 29 June. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":270406,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-270401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
