The richest dustbin on land

Monday, March 12, 2018

At the start of last weekend, this dustbin had exactly P50,000 in hard cash stashed inside like trash. The dustbin belongs to the Minister of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services Prince Maele. It is at his unoccupied house at Plot 39044, Block 6, Gaborone. Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) said they got a tip-off about the money in the bin and moved in to raid the house on Saturday morning.

On Sunday the once richest dustbin was just a metal scrap not even worthy to carry rubbish and just lying down there with fallen ripe guavas.
