Dibotelo, JSC triumph over judges

The August 2015 petition originally signed by 12 judges allegedly accused Dibotelo of tribalism and harming judges’ careers, amongst other remarks. Four other High Court judges, Key Dingake, Modiri Letsididi, Mercy Garekwe and Ranier Busang were suspended from September 2015 to March 2017 for the same petition, with President Ian Khama ultimately lifting the suspension after they apologised to him and Dibotelo.

Recently, Justices Tshepho Motswagole, Lot Moroka, Gaolapelwe Ketlogetswe and Godfrey Nthomiwa, went to court asking for the review and setting aside of a Judicial Service Commission (JSC)’s.
