A faction of the team has taken the Rollers leadership to court arguing that the club cannot hold a meeting when there is a pending court case. Gaborone lawyer, Tefo Sibanda who is representing the faction in court, said on Friday he wrote a letter to the management warning them against holding the Saturday meeting. He said he warned that they could not hold the meeting whose agenda was already a subject of a court matter. Sibanda said it was clear that the people who called the meeting were trying to prejudge a legal matter and this to him amounts to contempt of court.
However, Masonya said they decided to go ahead with their meeting because there was no court order to stop them. He said if anyone wanted to stop the meeting, they should have applied for a court order. "Some people did not want the meeting to proceed because of their own reasons. They wrote to us but there was not court order," he said.He added that during the meeting, they never discussed anything related to the pending case. "People should not speculate on what we were going to discuss," he said. Even though there were fears that things might turn ugly at the Saturday meeting at the Botswana National Youth Council (BNYC) premises in Gaborone West, Masonya said there were no ugly incidents. "Everything went peacefully.
