Gov't pays Sesana and Co over P90,000

Sesana, Xamme Gaotlhobogwe, Dube Ngwanaosele, Kanyo Kaingotla, Sister Gaotlhobogwe and Kealotswe Motsoketso, all residents of Molapo, had sued the government for confiscating over 95 of their goats and a horse on the basis that they have been brought into the reserve unlawfully in 2009. Molapo is a settlement within the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR). 

Last month Justice Abednego Tafa overruled the government’s decision and ordered the state to reimburse the complainants. In an interview, Sesana said had it not been for the well-fought battle of their lawyer, Patrick Matlho, the government would have escaped with the crime, as it is always the case.
