A man from Grootfontein will return to court next month after facing serious terrorism charges. Jona Hangula must appear before the Windhoek High Court on July 16 for his next hearing. His defense lawyer asked for more time to review police files and prepare legal documents. The 32-year-old faces 19 criminal charges against the Namibian government.

Prosecutors claim Hangula planned to overthrow the country between 2015 and 2020. Court papers say he wanted to create an Islamic state through violent means. Officials believe he tried to set up a military training camp near the Angola border. The charges state he supported terrorist groups like ISIS and Boko Haram through social media posts.

Police arrested Hangula during June 2023 and he remains behind bars. The case moved from magistrate court to the high court earlier this year. Investigators say he spread radical religious messages at local mosques and online platforms. Some religious leaders reportedly warned him about his extreme views.

The state alleges Hangula sent money to conflict zones and received foreign payments. He supposedly ran a charcoal business that sold products to Middle Eastern countries. Court documents claim he wanted to buy weapons and recruit fighters for his cause. Hangula denied guilt on 17 charges during his December court appearance.
