full support from the minister of mines. Some big names in there. Thats all im interested in. It wont even make a court date. It will obviously have to be heard and then thrown out.
"On 14 April 2008, Savanna amended its Notice of Motion to include a claim that the MME was ‘functus officio’, in effect claiming that the Minister did not have the power to grant EPL3345 when he purported to grant the licence to Bannerman on 16 April 2006.
Bannerman submitted answering and opposing affidavits on 30 May 2008. The MME filed three affidavits on 30 June 2008 opposing the claims by Savanna. The affidavits were sworn by Mr Errki Nghimtina, the Minister of Mines and Energy, Mr Erasmus Iiyambo Shivolo, the Director of Mines and the Acting Mining Commissioner and Dr Gabriele I. C. Schneider, the Director of Geological Surveys at the Ministry of Mines and Energy.
Savanna now has the opportunity to submit affidavits in response at which time Bannerman will approach the President Judge of the Namibian High Court to seek a hearing date. Bannerman is seeking advice on the merits of Savanna's claim and expects that advice to be completed after all of the affidavit evidence has been filed."
