The appeal former Swapo Okahandja constituency councillor Steve ‘Biko’ Booys lodged against the refusal of the Windhoek Magistrate Court to release him on bail was struck from the High Court roll this morning by Judge Naomi Shivute. This is ostensibly to allow Booys an opportunity to resolve his legal representation issues. Booys has had several privately engaged lawyers who withdrew from his case for various reasons. He is accused of rape and incest. Booys allegedly had forceful intercourse with his biological daughter twice at Okahandja on 16 and 17 January 2021.
