Nightclub owners to sue govt

Gaborone attorney Lone Masire confirmed that he has been engaged by the nightclub owners and would be filing an urgent application at the Lobatse High Court this week.  But Masire would not specify what exactly they are challenging, stating that he is still preparing the case.  

The attorney said they had wanted to file the application by yesterday but he was still consulting clients on certain issues.  
Maun based nightclub owner Tops Masole, who is one of the business people at the forefront of the court case, decried that the revised regulations are killing their business.  "We were caught unaware.  Some of us have taken loans for our businesses," said Masole.
