COSBOTS still cagey about Selotate's suspension :: Mmegi Online

While Copyright Society of Botswana (COSBOTS) is still cagey about the details of the recent suspension of its CEO, Lesego Selotate, sources within the organisation have revealed that the latter is being investigated for amongst others, organising a candidate vetting system which denied some members’ right and opportunity to be elected at an Annual General Meeting (AGM) last month.

As skeletons tumble out of the closet following the suspension of Selotate, a source close to the issue told Arts & Culture that the issue started last month at the AGM where some of the members in the current board were involved in the vetting process which blocked other potential candidates.

“Selotate conceived a deadly plan to have some candidature blocked and the plan was made with some of his board members in order to award themselves with tenders illegally within COSBOTS. The audit came out showing how he had been running COSBOTS like his farm,” said the source.
