Mabeo summoned on Brazil trip

Revelations of Mabeo’s trip raised eyebrows within the committee, as Air Botswana bosses said they had refused to go because consultants had already been engaged to identify aircraft suppliers. The committee was informed last week that Mabeo took the trip regardless with an Air Botswana engineer and other aviation officials.

Together with his permanent secretary Neil Fitt, Mabeo is expected to appear during the first week of October to answer for the trip and also explain why the organisation spent four months without a board.
