Businesswoman, Ethel Gampone, scored a small victory in her ongoing legal tussle with fast-food giant, Nandos Holdings Botswana over franchise rights, when the Gaborone High Court struck out new evidence brought on the restaurant giant’s behalf.

On Tuesday, Judge Key Dingake ruled that several documents and paragraphs supporting Nandos’ and Ibrahim Khan’s replying affidavit, be struck out as they constituted the construction of an entirely new case.

Nandos Holdings Botswana and its franchise holder, Ibrahim Khan have been entangled in a war with Gampone over control of the restaurant’s Palapye outlet.  Nandos has filed an urgent application for Gampone and her company, Jago Productions, to stop using the Nandos brand, saying the franchise agreement has expired.
