Arrest warrant issued against Kgalajwe for child maintenance

Tuesday, November 19, 2019

FRANCISTOWN: Following his stinging defeat at the just-ended general elections, former mayor of Francistown James Kgalajwe landed in trouble when he failed to appear in court on Tuesday for arraignment in respect to child maintenance charges.
