Not quitting

Reports say Tafa had a meeting with the late Nchindo sometimes last week where he told his client that he was pulling out of the case. "That is a lie. We have not withdrawn from the case," he said. Lawrence Khupe, an associate partner of Collins Newman was in court representing Nchindo and his co-accused last week Thursday. Tafa is a partner at the firm.

Nchindo faced the corruption charges together with his son Garvas and former Debswana managers, Joseph Matome and Jacob Sesinyi.
