FRANCISTOWN: Controversial Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) councillor for Monarch South, Ignatius Moswaane, appeared in court on Monday for allegedly trading without a licence.

The state alleges that the BDP councillor-cum-businessman was found trading without a licence. Moswaane holds a 100 percent share in Kamapex Investment Pty Ltd-a company that specialises in selling second hand cars.Moswaane, who is representing himself in the case, pleaded not guilty to the charge before magistrate Sijabuliso Siziba.Prosecution witness Kgosietsile Kgosiesele, a by-law superintendent at Kgalagadi District Council, said records from the licensing department at Francistown City Council (FCC) show that Moswaane's licence had long expired.

Kgosiesele is a former FCC by-law officer who has since transferred to Kgalagadi. He said on March 9, 2011 in the company of the police they went to Kamapex to investigate if Kamapex records matched theirs. He said upon arrival, employees were not cooperative when asked about the company's licence.They only gave them Moswaane's number. Upon contacting Moswaane by phone, he told them that he was in Gaborone and they arranged to meet the following day, only for Moswaane not to honour the appointment.
