Businessman Ben Hauwanga wants Ongwediva resident Potgieter Vilho to pay N$500,000 for harmful statements. Hauwanga claims Vilho shared false audio recordings about him on social media last year. These recordings painted Hauwanga as dishonest, corrupt, and someone who grabs land. The case stems from messages spread through WhatsApp groups.
Court papers say Vilho accused Hauwanga of using money owed to him for political campaigns against government leaders. Hauwanga believes these comments hurt his dignity and damaged his public image. He asks the court to declare the remarks false and make Vilho take back what he said with an apology. Vilho plans to fight these claims in court. The case returns to the Windhoek High Court on June 25.
