According to a recent advertisement, Deputy sheriff Urgent Chilisa was supposed to sell eight computer monitors from Mosele, a server, a conference desk, five executive chairs and five office tables at the Broadhurst Police Station in an auction on, June 30, to recover P50, 000 owed to their former landlord, SAGG Investments.

However Mosele Legal Services Managing director, Base Sebonego and  his Director, Mcbain Kaang told Mmegi the advertisement that caused the alarm should never have run in the first place as their company, had already paid up by the time it appeared in the press.

The two directors showed Mmegi a letter from their lawyers, Akheel Jinabhai & Associates, saying, ' Mosele Legal services have paid  the capital debt and what is being finalised is the issue  of the interest  and ancillary matters', the letter by the lawyers say.

Sebonego, who says he was in Johannesburg at the time the advertisement was published, expressed concern that the publication may have sent the wrong message that his company is not fairing well or is somehow misappropriating public funds.

' The fact of the matter is that Mosele Legal Services never defaulted on rentals, but rather we did not agree with our former landlords that we should be made to pay for the parking and advertising space where we erected our signboard.

We were saying that those ridiculous charges never appeared in the lease agreement, and we disputed that. However we eventually agreed to pay up although we felt it was unfair on us', explained the two directors of Mosele on Wednesday

Sebonego says their company, which is seven years old is doing quite well in the market.

' We are actually growing as a company, our membership is growing every month, and we have plans to open branches in Gantsi, and Palapye. We have another branch in Francistown.'

' We want to assure  the public that our underwriter is extremely happy with our relationship; underwriting is a very sensitive area but they are very happy with us, and recently the  regulator renewed our membership, they are very satisfied with our performance, and have in fact recommended that Mosele should be upgraded to a higher level', said Sebonego.
