The Gaborone High Court has suspended a 30-day jail stay for an applicant who failed to pay P2 million to different entities including one of Mahalapye’s main property developers, Jus Posh Investments Company and Ilala Holdings despite consenting to the order payments.

Matshidiso Tiro who fought that she was a shareholder in Illala Holdings escaped jail this week when Justice Zein Kebonang suspended it for seven days to comply with the order.

She had filed an application trying to stay a judgement that ordered that she pay P2m back to the respondents that included the latter companies, ex-husband and Barclays Bank Botswana.
