High Court rejects Nchindo application

As the application of Louis Nchindo, his son Garvas, two former Debswana employees, Joseph Matome and Jacob Sesinyi failed, Dibotelo ordered that the substantive matter at the Village Magistrates' Court should be mentioned within 14 days or as soon as it is convenient.

The matter is before Regional Magistrate, Lot Moroka. Nchindo, Garvas, Matome and Sesinyi are charged with 36 counts of graft. The defence team approached the High Court in May seeking reversal of a decision made by Moroka to reject the request for further particularities. Dibotelo upheld the decision of Moroka in a 37- page judgement in which he found there was no serious contention by Nchindo and his co-accused that the charges do not disclose the elements of the offence creating section of the Penal Code.
