RedForce, Rundu council N$9.2m lawsuit judgment postponed to 13 March
A judgment in the N$9.2 million lawsuit between RedForce and the Rundu Town Council has been delayed until March 13th.Summary
The Windhoek High Court has postponed its judgment in the N$9.2 million lawsuit filed by RedForce Debt Management against the Rundu Town Council to March 13th. RedForce is pursuing the claim based on an agreement from August 2020, alleging the council failed to provide necessary support for debt and data collection, actively sabotaging their efforts. They claim damages of N$5.1 million from lost income due to debt collection and N$4.1 million from data collection services.
The Rundu Town Council denies these allegations, stating RedForce failed to meet agreed-upon monthly debt collection targets of N$5 million and breached the agreement first. The council asserts they provided adequate support and did not hinder RedForce’s work. RedForce claims to have collected approximately N$91 million in debts for the council before terminating the agreement in February 2023, citing the council’s prior breach of contract.
The case centers on conflicting claims regarding the fulfillment of the 2020 agreement, with RedForce alleging sabotage and the council accusing RedForce of failing to meet performance targets. The court will ultimately decide whether the council adequately supported RedForce’s debt collection efforts and whether RedForce is entitled to the claimed damages.
