Son Prevails Over Stepfather For Mother's Remains

The fight over who has the burial right of the deceased Dineo Baitsemi between her son and husband began immediately after her death on February 27, 2020, which delayed her burial by almost three weeks.

The son, Karabo Moatlhodi, 26, had taken the matter to court on urgency as he wanted to bury his mother in Palapye as per her wishes while her husband Modiri Baitsemi, whom she was allegedly not in good terms with at the time of death, wanted her to be buried in Mmadinare, his home village.
