After suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Botswana National Front (BNF) leader, Otsweletse Moupo in the Gaborone West North parliamentary by-election in October, Robert Masitara has been conspicously missing in public life. But the flambouyant philanthropist will resurface when his rape case resumes in February 2006.

 Principal Magistrate Barn-abas Nyamadzabo ruled last August that Masitara has a case to answer when one of his female employees laid a rape charge against him.
The state called 15 witnesses among them the police forensic laboratory technicians. Part of the evidence presented before the court alleged that the well-known philanthropist had tried to request the relatives of the alleged victim to plead with her to withdraw the case.
The case was scheduled to continue on December 5 and 6. It has since been postponed to February.
