"He obtained money from people by falsely pretending that he was a traditional doctor. Recently it is alleged that he falsely took P170 000 from a certain woman at Hatsalatladi village, P109 000 from another woman at Bokaa village, P35 000 from a woman at Tlokweng, P12 000 from a man at Mogoditshane, P3000from a woman at Lobatse, P6 500 from another woman at Broadhurst and P800 from another man at Mogoditshane village claiming to be giving them services as a traditional healer. The suspect is at maximum prison and will soon appear before court," Lesetedi said.

Lesetedi revealed that they have established that the suspect is a former Member of Parliament (MP) of the ruling party in Uganda and is an illegal immigrant Botswana.

"We consider him an illegal immigrant because he failed to produce a passport. When asked to do so he claimed to have lost it," said Lesetedi.
