The Minister of Nationality, Immigration and Gender Affairs, also Member of Parliament for Gaborone Bonnington North, Annah Mokgethi is set for a disciplinary hearing before the Law Society of Botswana (LSB) following the recent Court of Appeal (CoA) judgment that she should account for the late Abdul Joseph's estate.

Mokgethi, who is a lawyer by profession, will be defending herself against LSB disciplinary committee on a misconduct charge. LSB executive secretary, Tebogo Moipolai Tuesday this week said: “We have forwarded the judgment from the Court of Appeal to the disciplinary hearing committee which will decide whether or not to charge Mokgethi with misconduct. I cannot make an assumption on the charges that Mokgethi will face or what the disciplinary hearing will rule regarding the judgment.”

He however, said the meeting which will be held tomorrow will decide on some issues that normally are raised by complainants and later the media make inquiries on them. He continued: “It is not our norm to discuss any complaint that is still before us because we have to investigate it first. Some of the allegations are meant to tarnish other people’s names while there is no substance of allegations.” Moipolai also said every case needs to be investigated first before the Law Society could make a comment on it.
