Choppies bosses take auditors to task

Ottapathu and Ismail, who are blaming the auditors for alleged lapses that led to the regional grocer’s suspension from the Botswana Stock Exchange in 2018 and a collapse in value, have taken the auditors to court saying they want further particulars to clarify their (auditors) defence.

According to the two’s attorney, Tebogo Tladi, they are filing to compel the court to furnish them with further particulars after requesting the particulars from the auditors who chose to decline the request.
