Shadrack ‘Shaduf’ Baaitse has been a mysterious man for so long. For years he was only known as a husband to the country’s top flying slay queen, a well connected young man with a speed dial to the Office of the President (OP) during Ian Khama’s rule and a friend to former Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) boss Isaac Kgosi who was arrested last week.

He has been subjected to investigations and lifestyle audits by the anticorruption agencies including the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) as well as the DIS. Even the taxman has visited him to ensure that he does not evade tax.

It is Baaitse’s lifestyle that has attracted scrutiny. He used to drive a Porsche Cayenne, which he swapped for his current automobile, a top of the range Mercedes Benz G-Wagon SUV.  His wife is a ‘boss slay queen’ with an Instagram feed that is a dream for any girl. They check-in at penthouse suites in expensive cities like Dubai and fly First Class for shopping in designer boutiques from European cities like Paris and London.
