Fight Over Corpse Takes Families To Court

While Kapondorah’s siblings, spouse and family felt it behoved them to lay Samuel Kapondorah peacefully, his children, Thato Lorato Kapondorah and Goitse Tumelo Kapondorah, through their attorney, Morupi Mbeha thought otherwise.  Samuel’s children demanded that their father be laid to final rest in Gaborone and not Tonota as his relatives had arranged.

Just like a script from a Nigerian movie, things allegedly came to a head when police stormed the Kapondorah home to serve them with an urgent court application prohibiting them from burying Samuel.
