ZCC Argues CoA Has No Jurisdiction

Monday, July 09, 2018

Lawyers representing the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) have argued that the Court of Appeal (CoA) has no jurisdiction to hear a case in which it is challenging a Lobatse High Court decision. The High Court had barred the church from holding a disciplinary hearing against 17 of its members.

The 17 disgruntled members of the Tlokweng Branch had succeeded to interdict the church from holding a disciplinary hearing against them after they challenged the way things are run in Botswana.

Justice Godfrey Nthomiwa agreed with the church members and restrained church leader Bishop Barnabas Lekganyane from holding any disciplinary hearing against them in terms of the Notice to Attend a Disciplinary hearing dated November 20, 2015, pending the outcome of their case before Gaborone High Court judge, Michael Mothobi.
