AfriForum, Nel for the State in 'Butterfly' case

The AfriForum's Private Prosecution Unit, lead by Adv. Nel, and Adv. Phyllis Vorster, has been mandated in the case to facilitate government's request for mutual legal assistance in the Bank of Botswana fraud and money-laundering matter. The appointment comes in the wake of Directorate Public Prosecutions (DPP) having reportedly submitting a request for mutual legal assistance on September 25, 2019 to the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), but the request never got a response.
