Comedy of errors in Butterfly case

Given recent events in the matter of the alleged P100 billion gone missing, it is increasingly apparent that the State may have made a real dog’s dinner of the case against Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) agent Welheminah Maswabi, codename ‘Butterfly’.

What is for certain is that Maswabi is facing charges for financing terrorism, possession of unexplained property and false declaration for a passport. But what has grown uncertain as things unfold in the court of law is not only the course the case has taken, but also that the veneer of justice is possibly fading.
