Attorney Kgosietsile Ngakaagae, representing Basis Points Capital, an asset management company owned by embattled businessman Bakang Seretse, says his clients would sue the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) 'cowboys' who allegedly assaulted the company’s finance manager, Hope Tabengwa.

According to an employee at the company, the DCEC assaulted Tabengwa in full view of staff members as she insisted to go with an attorney to an interview they had called her for. “She received a call from the DCEC directing her to come to their offices for an interview. She told them she would not go without an attorney. She told them that Ngakaagae was still in court,” the source said.

The source said they were then shocked to see the officers arrive at the office only to assault Tabengwa. “She insisted that she needed an attorney to go with her to their interview, but then they told her she was under arrest. There was then an altercation and they assaulted her breaking the boardroom door in the process,” the terrified employee said.
