A tour operator and three conservation groups have instructed court officials to seize eight mining permits held by Timoteus Mashuna near Khorixas after he allegedly refused to pay court-ordered legal fees. Ultimate Safaris, along with Doro Nawas and Uibasen Twyfelfontein conservancies, won an interdict against Mashuna's operations at Goantagab Mine, with the High Court awarding them 52,950 Namibian dollars in legal expenses on October 23, 2024.

Attorney Grace Hakaaje from Ellis Shilengudwa Inc. sent instructions on October 22 directing a deputy sheriff to seize the permits for public sale. The claims numbered 72300 through 72304 and 72400 through 72402 remain registered with the Ministry of Industries, Mines and Energy. The dispute centers on mining work at Goantagab within Sorris Sorris conservancy, an area designated for joint management.

Mashuna dismissed the legal action as theatrical posturing, noting he won previous cases against these parties but never pursued their assets. He questioned why all eight permits faced seizure when selling one would exceed the amount owed. Mashuna said he owns other property and has arranged payment of the outstanding sum.
