Lobtrans manager in mental hospital

Lobtrans and its sister company Lobatse Cash Store are in liquidation. A lawyer for the two companies, Reuben Kamushinda said that he was unable to communicate with his client because he is in a psychiatric ward. The news forced Justice Ian Kirby to postpone a case in which the Botswana Commercial and General Workers Union and Botswana Beverage and Allied Workers Union had made an application to the court to appoint a second liquidator for the two companies.

The two companies have opposed the application. A tense debate ensued between Kamushinda and Kirby who wanted to know what his client's interests are since he had conceded to the liquidation.
