Gov’t moves to settle with accused in ‘Butterfly’ case

This was revealed on Monday morning before Ntlo ya Dikgosi by the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, Nelson Ramaotwana, in response to a question posed by one of the accused, former President Ian Khama.

“I have directed that the plaintiff and defendant meet to resolve this matter amicably. We acknowledge that defamation has occurred. If someone is accused of theft but there is no complainant and if the Bank of Botswana (BoB), as custodian, says nothing is missing then there is no issue. The BoB has submitted a report,” Ramaotwana stated.
