Is it Garvas or Nicola Nchindo?

Another High Court battle looms between the prosecutors and Nchindo's defence team. Advocate Craig Webster hinted at this yesterday after Regional Magistrate (South), Lot Moroka, ordered the daughter of the late former Debswana boss, Louis Nchindo, to take the stand in court and explain who will represent Golconda Holdings in a criminal trial.

Nicola Segametsi Nchindo nominated her brother, Garvas, to take the plea for Golconda Holdings.

After the nomination, Moroka asked Garvas to confirm whether he (Garvas) accepted his sister's nomination, but before he could respond, advocate Webster stood up and told the court that Garvas' acceptance would not mean they would be relinquishing their right to appeal Moroka's ruling.
