Sechele�s death haunts DPP in Rabana case :: Mmegi Online

A case in which the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is pursuing the former Botswana Housing Corporation (BHC) deputy director and fugitive, Gaolekwe Rabana, has taken a dramatic twist following the sad demise of the DPP director, Leonard Sechele, a few weeks ago.

While at DPP he applied for the extradition of Rabana who currently stays in South Africa, a move that was strongly opposed by Rabana’s lawyers.
