State represents Magosi & Co against Kgosi

Appearing yesterday before Gaborone High Court Judge, Zein Kebonang, the State moved the application after the defendants were cited in their individual capacities in Kgosi’s P50 million lawsuit against the government despite having carried their duties officially.

Initially, the defendants, DIS chief Peter Magosi, Koketso Mbulawa and Mbako Bonang both from Botswana Police Service and Palapye Magistrate, Rebecca Motsamai were cited to have allegedly been part of that fateful day of Kgosi’s airport arrest in their own individual capacities. The application follows the State having previously indicated in its papers that the citation of the individuals in the court proceedings in their personal capacities was vindictive and abuse of the court process. “The proceedings against the four defendants in their personal capacities is vindictive and abuse of court process,” the State’s legal representation argued.
