The deputy registrar of the Francistown High Court, Gee Ketlogetswe granted a default judgment last month against Mfa after he failed to defend himself. He was served with a writ of summons on May 12, 2011 to which he was expected to respond within 14 days. Mfa did not respond to the summons, and a judgment in default of appearance was granted against him last month.
"The defendant not having entered appearance to the writ of summons herein, it is this day adjourned that the plaintiff recovers against the said defendant the sum of P313 565.29," the deputy registrar ordered.
