David has written to the Ministry of Health's Permanent Secretary to take disciplinary action against Utlwanang for his behaviour that led to the alleged assault. The ex-murder-accused lawyer is in the headlines again after a case of assault was laid against him at the Central Police Station in Gaborone after he allegedly attacked a nurse at Extension II clinic who had attended his daughter on November 7, 2024.
The matter is said to have been handed to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions for assessment and possible prosecution. Through his attorney Ofentse Khumomotse in a letter dated November 21, 2024, David alleges the nurse's conduct was predatory and far removed from the ethos of the office he holds. Narrating what transpired on the day, Khumomotse says David had taken his 18-year-old daughter to the health facility following a minor car accident. He says upon arrival, the daughter was attended by a male nurse who introduced himself as 'Dr Thapelo Utlwanang'. David's lawyer states in the letter that the man then went inside a room with the young girl and locked the door. It is said that the nurse then asked the daughter to lie down on the bed and pull up her top exposing her torso.
