Zibani Philemon's Camp Suffers Another Blow

The faction, who includes acting president Philemon, first deputy president Ogaufi Masame, treasurer general Mosalagae Tlhako and Motswaledi Monaiwa who are fighting for legitimacy in the office had approached the Court seeking an expedited appeal for a case they lost recently before Lobatse High Court judge Godfrey Nthomiwa. However, they left the courtroom disappointed again after Justice Walia told them that the court a quo did not make any orders to be appealed against.

Walia who was not amused by the Union’s infighting, directed them to go back to the court a quo to seek clarity and interpretation on the judgement. He said that even if he could entertain their application for an expedited appeal, the case would still fall on its face at the Court of Appeal.
