FRANCISTOWN: A former security guard at the Department of Immigration Services in Francistown not only lost his job, but was also found guilty of malicious damage to property over an overtime dispute with his employers.

The 52-year-old Nthusang Lekgoba was found guilty of damaging telephones valued at P4,888,50 at the department on November 11.

Lekgoba had wanted the department to pay him money for the 97 hours that he claimed to have worked as overtime while the department was willing to pay him for the 54 hours that it said he worked. The disagreements with his bosses over overtime pay resulted in him losing his temper and in the process damaging telephones worth P4,888,50.
