Basupi Recuses Himself From Big Case

FRANCISTOWN: Principal Magistrate Dumisani Basupi has recused himself from a high profile case involving two Francistown men, Tiro Gaylards Masimege and Mothusi Mmolawa who are alleged to have defrauded Panda Group of Companies in Francistown of a sum amounting to P4 million between June 2008 and October 2010.

Basupi was recently appointed the Registrar and Master of the High Court in Lobatse. He was temporarily in Francistown last week Friday in order to clear a backlog of some of the cases he presided over whilst he was the substantive principal magistrate.

It is alleged that Masimege and Mmolawa connived together in selling the products of the company on the pretext that the money was being paid into the Panda Group of Companies account, while the money was being paid into their own accounts. The payment for the stock that the accused persons made, was also reportedly obtained in the form of cash or cheques written in the names of the accused persons business companies, namely Nuwa and Sons, Potlako Tiro Holdings and Greeny Zone.
