Dipate’s busy court not getting any quieter

Former Transport and Infrastructure Minister, Eric Molale is expected to appear before Dipate on October 9, joining a growing list of former senior government officials and politicians who have passed through this courtroom in high-profile criminal proceedings.

Over the years, the magistrate’s courtroom has become something of a crossroads for Botswana’s political establishment, from the presidency and Cabinet to the upper echelons of the public service and law enforcement.
