Kebonang drills police on late CEO murder case :: Mmegi Online

After an eight-year wait, Gaborone High Court judge, Zein Kebonang finally delivered judgment in the late Fairground Holdings CEO, Michael Montshiwa’s murder incident. When he began reading his judgment, Kebonang quoted from the Bible’s Sirach 6:7–8.

He said: “When you gain a friend, first test him and be not too ready to trust him. For one sort of friend is a friend when it suits him.” One could sense a sigh of relief from the family and friends of the late CEO, who had packed the courtroom to hear and witness the matter being put to rest.

Because the accused, David Modise and Montshiwa were friends, one would have deduced that the message from the judge’s reading was that the man would be found guilty. Mummers could be heard across the room as they harshly discussed the direction the judge was taking.
