Police Foil A Scam In Kasane

Upon return from my Chobe River escapade to Chiloto Lodge – my place of lodging – tucked in the middle of a shanty Kgaphamadi neighbourhood, a conman’s attempt to swindle three men of their P100,000 miscarried when the police caught him midway his antics. The incident occurred in room four adjacent to mine, room five. It was early evening while I was collecting my receipts at the reception when a quartet of plain clothed men stormed into the lodge.

“Where is room four? We want the guests in room four!” one of the men called out to the receptionist in a stern tone. It was a simple guess that they were law enforcement officers.
