𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒: 𝐀 𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓'𝐒 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘

By Frank Alexander

In a nation that prides itself on justice and fairness, it is deeply disheartening when those entrusted to uphold the law falter. My story is one that underscores the plight of many ordinary citizens who entrust their hard-earned money and hopes to legal professionals, only to be met with negligence, unresponsiveness, and heartbreak.

I am a victim of what I believe to be gross professional misconduct at the hands of a prominent lawyer, Mr. Ngakaagae. Over the past few months, I have endured emotional and financial turmoil as a result of his firm's mishandling of my cases, a betrayal I never anticipated when I sought their assistance.

In October 2024, I sent emails to Mr. Ngakaagae, detailing my concerns about the lack of effort in handling my cases. I had paid a significant amount of money for a deposit at the Court of Appeal, and also to his firm, which also included a certain amount to open my file. Despite these payments, my first case was dismissed on grounds that, according to him, lacked merit. This was shocking, as I had believed there was ample time for the firm to prepare a compelling case.

The second case, which Mr. Ngakaagae himself assured me had a "winning chance," was inexplicably abandoned. His firm withdrew as my attorneys without consulting me, leaving me stranded and betrayed. Attempts to reach his office have been futile—my calls and emails have gone unanswered. Even his staff, when contacted, fail to provide meaningful assistance, instead promising to get back to me but never doing so.

This negligence has not only cost me financially but has also shattered my trust in the legal system. As a result, I have been forced to consider taking my fight to the public domain, not out of malice but out of a desperate need for accountability and justice. If lawyers of Mr. Ngakaagae's standing can treat their clients with such disregard, what hope is there for those who cannot even afford legal representation?

The broader question is this: How many others have suffered in silence due to similar misconduct? How many voices have been silenced by the very institutions meant to amplify them? As a nation, we must demand higher standards of professionalism and accountability from those who wield the power of the law.

I am calling on regulatory bodies, the media, and fellow citizens to help shed light on this issue. The legal profession is not above scrutiny, and it is time for clients like myself to be heard. Our legal institutions must prioritize the rights and interests of the people, not just the profits of the privileged.

My plea is simple: I seek justice—not just for myself but for all those who have been wronged in similar circumstances. It is my hope that by bringing this matter to public attention, we can inspire reforms that ensure no one else endures what I have endured.
Efforts to get a comment from Ngakaagae were futile as his number was unavailable.

Ladies favourite Oscar M.B.O expected to dazzle the crowd at Born and Raised

What Born and Raised organizers see as a make up show for the lanky producer, DJ and podcaster who often leaves the decks and takes on to the stage with sizzling dance moves-as it is a norm in today's deejaying-Oscar Mbo promises to be at his best in his confirmation videos.

Oscar Mbongeni Ndlovu is surely coming to Serowe this Saturday and he has even confirmed in his gig guide. Mbo has never been to Botswana for 2 years and has had a tussle with the show organizers last year when he pulled a no show. The organizers called him again this time, as he has been in demand since last year, and this will be a make up affair between the South African artist and Born and Raised promoters.

Investigative journo on the run?

Fresh information received by Overview Radio News Department is that former investigative journalist, Tebogo Kgalemang-Kereng, could be a wanted woman.

If information that reached us since Friday evening is anything to go by, Kgalemang-Kereng has been overseas. On Friday there were four men who came to ask his husband about her whereabouts.

Thato Kereng was in a Molepolole Clinic where he had taken their small child for health check when four men purporting to be the police resurfaced from nowhere asking questions about his wife and the family. They did not provide full details of their identity but they sounded like their interest was on Kgalemang-Kereng's whereabouts.

Kgalemang-Kereng who quit journalism in 2019 when working for a weekend publication, Weekend Post, has always been linked to an allegations that she could be a government spy of some sorts.

"He(husband) told us that he was shocked as four men approached him while holding a child and asked him to step aside. He said they asked him a lot of questions and mostly on the whereabouts of his wife," said a source close to the family.

Intelligence sources told us that the reason for Kgalemang-Kereng's following could be harassment and can lead to her family if she is not found. The sources said she is alleged as someone who knows a lot of information especially for the stories she wrote and her being linked with one spy agent who is currently on suspension with other two of his colleagues.

Kgalemang-Kereng quit investigative journalism in 2019 and is alleged to have gone to look for greener pastures overseas. A source close to the family said they are worried if the family will ever live without fear because the men had promised to come back for further questioning.

Efforts to contact Kgalemang-Kereng were futile as her WhatsApp number could not get through. Her husband could neither deny nor confirm the incident. The government also did not comment or entertained the inquiry for a respond.
