A N$443 000 payment made to Ndilimani Cultural Troupe's manager Jesse Nombanza's vehicle loan in 2017 has been flagged as potential proceeds of the Fishrot scandal.

Ndilimani is Swapo's music propaganda group that regularly performs at ruling party events and produces election campaigns and general songs.

The Namibian understands the N$443 000 was allegedly transferred from the law firm DHC Incorporated's bank account into a Standard Bank account to settle a vehicle loan payment registered in Nombanza's name.

The closest Swapo came to addressing the corruption scandal was when the Swapo Party Youth League (Spyl) issued a media statement last month defending Geingob and bashing the media for apparently targeting the band members fall under Ndilimani Cultural Troupe (Pty) Ltd, which was founded in 1980.

The Namibian reported that year the original members of Ndilimani, who were imprisoned by Swapo in the 1980s, wanted to form a new musical group.
