Honey Guide Trust threatens BDF, BPS chiefs with contempt

Botswana Police Commissioner, Dinah Marathe and Botswaba Defence Force (BDF) commander, General Mpho Mophuting could be jailed in the event the trust's demands are not immediately acceded to. Additionally, the legal representatives lawyers have been instructed to seek imprisonment and the legal costs on an attorney and own client scale. The move follows Okavango Kopano Mokoro Community Trust's (OKMCT) decision to ignore court orders and subsequently enter Ditshiping village under the escort of Police and BDF officers.

According to a letter dated August 26, 2026, the two parties became involved in a heated and spirited series of litigations and disputes wherein Ditshiping residents demanded equal and or reasonable share of the resources that are situated within the NG32 area.
