Court to decide on dagga production tussle

Gaborone High Court will decide on the legal tussle between government and a company that has been accused of ploughing dagga instead of hemp as proposed after they were issued the permit.

The company, Fresh Standard (Pty) Ltd represented by Advocate Duma Boko, appeared before Justice Mokwadi Chris Gabanagae last week seeking revocation of the permit to be reviewed after disputing the allegations.

They also want the court to order production to be resumed after it was halted on the said suspicion.
