Miss Botswana dispute reaches High Court

The directors of 63 Entertainment, Bissau Gaobakwe and Thapelo Pabalinga have taken the legal route after the Botswana Council of Women (BCW) terminated their company's management contract to organise the contest.

The three-year contract was signed last March. But last month, BCW, through its lawyers, notified 63 Entertainment that it was terminating the contract because of a breach. Part of the agreement was that the company would pay BCW P121,000 two weeks before the pageant and avail the balance afterwards. The company was to secure prizes and make them available to BCW a month before the pageant.
