SA lawyer engaged to fight Khama

The 60-year-old lawyer has an impeccable record of handling high profile cases. He represented respected former South African president, Nelson Mandela in his divorce case against Winnie-Madikizela Mandela. Another prominent client is current South African President, Jacob Zuma.

A highly placed member of the BDP said that local lawyers are busy communicating with Trengove in a bid to prepare affidavits. Khama has alarmed the Kedikilwe-Kwelagobe faction or Barata-phathi by suspending BDP secretary general Gomolemo Motswaledi and by-passing the Central Committee in crucial decisions and appointments. Khama is said to be annoyed with Motswaledi for undermining his authority, especially after he castigated Collins Newman law firm for defending the President against allegations that he is running the party like a one-man show.
