QUESTION 2
On 15 March 2023 Ramo, an elderly man who speaks only Otjiherero, was stopped at the
road block outside Windhoek by an English-speaking Traffic Officer. He tried to explain to
the Traffic Officer that he could not understand him, and the next moment found himself
handcuffed and thrown into the back of a Police van. He taken to the Windhoek Police
Station, where he was kept in a holding cell. The said cell was without any form of sanitation
facilities as these facilities had been demolished by previous prisoners. Ramo was given no
food for two days and finally, out of desperation and hunger, he signed a confession that he
had stolen a vehicle. Ramo was brought before the Magistrate's court on 22 March and the
Magistrate indicated that, instead of a bail hearing, the trial would proceed immediately.
Discuss the above case study with reference to the Namibian Constitution. Refer to the
exact Articles that have been infringed.
