Seabelo's multi-million Pula divorce settlement

Tlhaselo, who is better known by his first name, also surrendered lucrative bus routes to his wife, Anna Mmapona Tlhaselo, who is planning to run the transport business under a new name, Mmapona Express, in accordance with the settlement that allows her to re-brand the 12 Seabelo Express buses with effect from December 31, 2011. She filed for the divorce in which she was represented by attorney Unity Dow.

However, in a curious legal twist, the divorce settlement - which was concluded on December 20 before Justice Garekwe - gives Seabelo the right to Seabelo Express, while his erstwhile wife wins all the 12 buses that have traditionally operated under Seabelo Express, leaving the man without a single bus to his name. Infact, his former wife will now be the sole owner of the famous plot and property known as Seabelo House on Kamushongo Road in Gaborone West Industrial Estate. Seabelo has six months to vacate the premises.
