Ulsan Botswana moves to stop Mupane appeal

Tuesday, December 02, 2025 | 210 Views |

A legal fight over the future of Mupane Gold Mine reached the Court of Appeal (CoA) yesterday morning, with one of the bidders, Ulsan Botswana, insisting that the mine liquidator’s application for an expedited appeal was not properly before the court.

The company argued that whilst the liquidator, Kopanang Thekiso, received leave to appeal from the High Court, he failed to meet the filing requirements at the CoA.

The liquidator’s leave to appeal is in relation to a recently granted interdict against the sale of the gold mine by Lobatse High Court judge, Reuben Lekorwe. He had sided with the 'aggrieved' bidder Ulsan Botswana, which claimed irregularities in the process used to award Nova Africa the rights to purchase.
