Costs of R94,000 have been awarded against Municipal Manager of the Nama Khoi Local Municipality, Aubrey Baartmen  in a case taken by civil rights orgnaisation Afriforum. The case was taken after Afriforum brought an application for review against Baartman in the Northern Cape High Court. Wico Swanepoel, Provincial Coordinator for Afriforum explains:

“The legal costs are to be settled on a monthly basis, Afrifourm’s legal team will closely monitor these payments and if Baartmen fails to honour these payments an execution will be made against his assets”


According to Chairperson of Afriforum in Springbok, Sarel Stone, this case marks a highlight in the battle against maladministration.
