Bonita Nuttall, who is a presenter with an investigative journalism
show ‘Carte Blanche’ in South Africa, will have to return to Namibia
next year, though, after the case in which she is charged with breaking
Namibia’s Immigration Control Act was postponed yesterday for further
investigations to be done.
Nuttall was about to board a flight to South Africa on Friday last week
when immigration officials detained her for allegedly having worked in
Namibia without the necessary work permit.
Nuttall was kept in custody at the Hosea Kutako International Airport
Police Station until Saturday, when she was released after posting
security of N$2 000 with the immigration authorities.
With her second appearance in the Windhoek Magistrate’s Court in Katutura yesterday, Public Prosecutor O.J.
Lino asked Magistrate Shahieda Krohne to postpone the case to February 4 and to grant Nuttall bail of N$8 000 in the meantime.
