Basarwa sue Khama

Nare Gaoberekwe, Mosetlhanyane Matsipane, Amogelang Segootsane, Gaorapelwe Kgwathiswa and Mogoba Tshiamiso are residents of the CKGR, who have instituted the notice to sue.

 “The claimants’ cause of action is their right as citizens of Botswana not to be subject to statutory instrument that is inconsistent with the provision of the enactment under which it was made and is therefore void pursuant to Section 5 (2) of the Statutory Instrument Act; and their right to protection of Chapter II of the Constitution,” reads the notice received by the Attorney General’s office on August 8, 2014. The applicants say the statutory instrument is in the Wildlife Conservation and National Parks (Prohibition of Hunting, Capturing or Removal of Animals) order of 2014.
