BURS appeals Kebonang’s P50m judgement

Thursday, July 22, 2021 | 10 Views |

Botswana Unified Revenue Services (BURS) is appealing the default judgement issued against it in the former spy chief, Isaac Kgosi’s unlawful arrest and wrongful detention case for which the tax agency attracted P50 million in the loss.

BURS, which on Tuesday was ordered by Gaborone High Court judge Zein Kebonang to pay Kgosi for failing to file and deliver a plea in the matter, says it will be filing an appeal against the default judgement while seeking a stay of execution.

According to attorney Tshiamo Rantao, recently instructed by BURS in the matter, Justice Kebonang granted the default judgement even though there was a pending application by BURS and its general manager Kaone Molapo for leave to file their plea out of time.
