FRANCISTOWN: A 24-year-old woman, Veronica Keitebetse, was yesterday found guilty of swindling National Development Bank (NDB) of P97,000 in October 2011.

Keitebetse had pleaded not guilty to the offence and chose to give an unsworn statement. When passing judgment, Principal Magistrate Dumisani Basupi said the first prosecution witness who is a risk analyst at NDB said Keitebetse had applied for a Bokamoso loan. An amount of P97,000 was subsequently deposited into Keitebetse’s bank account.  She however later denied that she had applied for a loan from NDB or that the bank had deposited money into her account.A First National Bank statement, Certificate of land rights, Omang, NDB loan letter, salary advice slip amongst other documents bearing Keitebetse’ s full names were produced in court as evidence.

Basupi said the FNB manager who was the second prosecution witness indicated that it is not possible for another person to withdraw the money from Keitebetse’s account without her authority.

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