Two in court for fraudulently selling land

Monday, February 21, 2011

MAUN: The trial in which two men, Dieve Read and Nicky Masheko are accused of fraudulently selling a residential plot to two Maun businessmen for a total amount of P86,000 using a bogus land certificate, continues before a Maun magistrate.

They are facing a single count of forgery and two counts of obtaining by false pretences.

The particulars of the case are that the two men, sometime in May 2007, jointly and in consent forged a Tawana Land Board certificate for a residential plot near Thamalakane River and used the said certificate to obtain the lease for the plot from the land board. They allegedly sold the plot to Syros Nicholau for P16,000 and further solicited P70,000 from a Maun-based private doctor, Dr Kenneth Habanyama in sale of the plot.
