A retrenched Botswana Technology Centre (BOTEC) worker, Khoba Moitoi, was on Monday investigated over reports

On the day, Moitoi, along with other retrenched workers, confronted BOTEC management to ask when they would be given their exit packages. Motoi told Mmegi that the two executives laughed off their enquiry when he came face to face with them at the reception. He said that he told them that "all will not be well" (referring to his family's welfare), if they do not get their dues.

He related that he was shocked to be confronted by police officers as he was leaving BOTEC premises who demanded him to open his car boot. The officers, he said, alleged that an anonymous caller informed them that he threatened to kill the executives. Moitoi said the police searched his car and did not find the gun they were told he had.
