Gaoberekwe family advised against legal suit

Gaoberekwe’s corpse has been lying in a private mortuary for the past 18 months, clocking a bill of over P200,000. The local authorities have been denying the family a permit to bury their father who died on December 21, 2021 in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR). The Gaborekwe family lost court cases at the High Court and the Court of Appeal (CoA).

They wanted to bury their father Pitseng in the CKGR as per his wish. After losing at Botswana’s apex court, the family appealed for legal assistance to take the government of Botswana to an African court.
