In a rather interesting turn of events, Francistown Magistrate Tshepo Magetse has summoned the head of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at Tonota Police Station to appear in court to explain how many cases of defilement and rape were reported at his station but were never brought to court for trial and the reasons thereof. This comes after an 18 year old girl had reported a soldier who had impregnated her in 2021 for maintenance.

The phrase “From the frying pan into fire” aptly captures the situation a Botswana Defence Force (BDF) soldier based at the Area W Military Garrison currently finds himself in. When the military officer, Lesego Gaolathe, 44, left the barracks on Wednesday morning his mind was only occupied with the child maintenance issue that mother of his child had registered before the Francistown Magistrate Court. Little did he know that other serious allegations against him would surface.

Gaolathe denies that he is the father of the child and is demanding a paternity test to determine whether or not he is the biological father of the child.

Congratulations Anicia Gaothuse!

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
