The multiple fraud accusations against a former Botswana Defence Force (BDF) soldier have increased to 10, after a farmer reported that he obtained cattle from him through false pretences.

Already, the 41-year-old Isaac Monyadiwa is facing nine counts of receiving by false pretences at the Kanye Magistrate Court. In the latest case, he is said to have obtained four head of cattle worth P14,832 through fraud at Khakhea village. It is said that he got the cattle last September, but failed to pay as agreed. The farmer's efforts to track him down were not successful, leaving him with no option but to open a case with the Mabutsane Police. Efforts by the police to find Monyadiwa and discuss the complaint with him have been fruitless because he is not answering his mobile phone.

The commander of Mabutsane Police Station, Superintendent Pontsho Kgotlafela told Mmegi that they are searching for Monyadiwa to charge him with the alleged offences. He stated that Monyadiwa was once approached about the case and he promised to pay the complainant but to their surprise he only remitted P2,000.
