Chalegwa Mabua in consultation with his lawyers during their case with Mascom at Gaborone high court PIC: PHATSIMO KAPENG.

Mobile network provider, Mascom Wireless (Mascom) was left with an egg on the face last Friday as Justice Zein Kebonang interdicted the company from hosting the horse racing event dubbed Mascom Derby.

Chalegwa Mabua and his company, Botsepa Agencies (Pty) Ltd trading as Ngami Horse Racing approached court on urgency after Mascom dumped him and his Shashe Race track for a different venue and technical sponsor.

The Mascom event will be staged on the same Easter weekend as has always been the case under their partnership. Mabua was represented by Njiramanda Mbewe- Boatey, Dr Bernard Tubego-Bulawayo and Kukie Hirschfeld while Mascom was represented by Mike Rasetshwane.
