LOBATSE: Justice Jennifer Dube on Friday adjourned a case in which two men have applied to the High Court requesting its action against the director general of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security Services (DIS), Isaac Kgosi and eight others to be charged with contempt of court.

The duo, Thulaganyo Boiditswe and Tshepo Makgalemele, are directors of Sparkling Auto Care Botswana franchise at the Airport Junction mall in Gaborone and through their lawyer, Lyndon Mothusi, want Kgosi and some other officers to be arrested and charged for allegedly trying to intimidate them on a matter that is before the courts. The case developed from a CEDA loan application, which the duo applied for in order to fund the franchise five years ago. The DIS put the loan under the microscope on suspicion that it was fraudulent. In the papers filed on May 22, 2017 the duo state that they have never received any information on the alleged fraud charge and they are still awaiting the P1.6 million to be disbursed.

The applicants decried that they have on several occasions been detained and subsequently interrogated on a matter that is before the courts. In their court papers, the applicants state that they were allegedly detained on April 19, 2017 at the Kgale Mews CID offices and hence they deemed their “continued harassment by the DIS and police”  as unprocedural, unconstitutional and a way to force them to drop a case which is before the courts. The duo stated in their affidavits that it is unfounded for the DIS and police to be still investigating the matter five years after their initial arrest.  Other officers who have been implicated are Chepete and Mtsosa, both based at the Broadhurst police station; A. Sese, Dynamunthi, Ntwaetsile (fraud squad officers), all based at Kgale Mews CID office.

Congratulations Anicia Gaothuse!

The contest had 10 beautiful young girls as finalists and unfortunately only one could wear the crown.The judges picked Anicia Gaothuse. To all those who feel their contestant should have won ahead of Anicia for whatever reason, hardly; the judges found Anicia to be the best among the best, so desist from disrespecting our newly crowned queen on social media or anywhere else, for that matter! Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
