After considering the additional evidence provided by the extensive documentary Counsel makes the point again that even if the allegations were true, there is no evidence referred to hereinbefore, Counsel issued written interrogatories to each of evidence that any one party personally benefitted from the alleged fraud. If the loss the identified witnesses through the offices of the Legal Advisor and requested written of USD4.5 million worth of stock was fraudulently concealed, it is also doubtful that submissions in response thereto accompanied by appropriate documentary evidence. such a comparatively fractional loss would have had an effect on the holding company Certain of the witnesses identified did respond to the interrogatories and provide share price. additional documentary evidence. In particular the internal auditor to the Company at the time, who raised the issues in respect of stock losses and bulk sales, who it Averments in the Ernst & Young Report and evidence provided to Counsel suggests appears did not respond to queries raised by Ernst & Young did make not available an that certain of management staff of the Company “backdated” certain documents address to which Counsel’s questions to him could be sent. pertaining to the targets store acquisition. Counsel is of the view that this appears to have been done to ensure that transaction was recorded in the 2018 financial year, Counsel has considered all the evidence provided to him and has come to the conclusions rather than to perpetrate some sort of fraud. Counsel is satisfied that the backdating that the allegations of fraud in respect of stock in both South Africa and Zimbabwe was not done in pursuant of the allegedly fraudulent stock manipulation in South would not likely succeed in a court of law nor in a formal quasi-judicial setting such as a Africa. Counsel makes that point that he cannot know the consequences of what the disciplinary hearing. Counsel is satisfied that the evidence before him (which is almost backdating might have for the audit responsibility of the Company or towards any third entirely circumstantial) can do no better than establish equal probability which means party. Counsel therefore that the case of fraud will likely fail on the onus, placed on the entity alleging the fraud. recommends that the Board takes the matter further to establish possible consequences The case for the allegation of fraud in respect of stock in South Africa was that of this backdating (which investigation was beyond the mandate of Counsel’s focused management had orchestrated an elaborate scheme to hide stock losses ostensibly investigation). Counsel points that while backdating a document is per se a fraudulent identified by the internal auditor, by using a stock management system called “Rebate representation the moral and legal liability for doing so depends largely on the SKU” and then pretending to sell 129 million rands worth of non-existent stock to consequences of that action. If it turns out that the backdating was for an innocent a purchaser identified in the Report (“the Purchaser”), receiving the money from reason and was without consequence it is likely that such action should attract little the Purchaser, then sending the money back to the Purchaser in exchange for the more than a reprimand from the Board of the Company. acquisition of four retail stores at artificially inflated prices, the result of the scheme being that the Purchaser pretended to sell the stores at the inflated price of R146 Counsel has recommended, to ensure the integrity of the process of investigation, million, but in reality sold the stores at the price of R55 million the artificially inflated that the Report (for this reason entitled a “Preliminary Report”) be made available to portion of the sale price (R91 million) being compensated for with 129 million rands persons implicated by the Preliminary Report which persons would then be accorded worth of non-existing stock and another R38 million in smaller fictional transactions It an opportunity of three weeks, post publication of the Preliminary Report, to provide was alleged that the stock loss would be hidden “on the books” and concealed by the Counsel with relevant evidence which may be new or different, for examination, artificially inflated goodwill in the recently purchased stores. interrogation and ultimately conclusion as to whether or not such evidence would alter the Preliminary Report. However, the evidence provided suggests that the purchase prices in respect of the purchased stores were not artificially inflated based on the fact that: - The Board, upon the recommendation of Counsel and pursuant to publication of this synopsis of the Preliminary Report on XNews and SENS, will make a full copy of the (1) the target stores were producing an annual turnover of R500 million; Preliminary Report available to persons implicated by the Preliminary Report, and (2) Choppies had recently purchased eight similarly well performing stores using the accord such persons an opportunity for a period of three weeks post publication of the same “three times average monthly turnover” based price determination; said Report, to present evidence whether new or different, to Counsel for interrogation (3) Choppies auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers (“ PwC”) had conducted due and consideration whether conclusions in the Preliminary Report should be altered. diligences on both of the respective transactions prior to the acquisitions; Accordingly, persons implicated by the Preliminary Report are given notice of the fact (4) it appears the internal auditor of the Company did not conduct a physical count that the full report is available at the principal place of business of the Company at Plot when he identified the alleged losses but rather identified a variance “on the 169, Gaborone International Commerce Park, Gaborone during business hours Monday books” between the stock status report and MIS stock figures; to Friday each week for inspection, and at request, for a copy. (5) in the absence of a physical stock count it is likely that the internal auditor was (based on the evidence of the operations team) mistaken due to the intricacies Any material new and different evidence should be provided by a person implicated of the Rebate SKU System; and in the Preliminary Report to the Legal Advisor to the Company Mr. Neill Armstrong at (6) after the bulk sales of the allegedly missing stock, the external auditors at the [email protected] or marked for his attention at the offices of Botlhole Law time, PwC, confirmed that no stock was missing and that all money had been Group, Plot 33957, Matlapaneng Street, Block 8, Gaborone. received for the stock. It is to be noted that it is unethical for Counsel to entertain representations directly Counsel comes to the conclusion that the above facts are inconsistent with the purely from members of the public (or to discuss his investigation with anyone including the circumstantial case of fraud in respect of the stock and therefore the inference that media) and all submissions should be made through the attorney Mr. Neill Armstrong. fraud in respect of the stock took place cannot be sustained.

he Special Economic Zones Au- thority (SEZA) was established to Tboost economic development by positioning Botswana as a premier invest- ment destination and improving the coun- try’s ease of doing business. This was said by SEZA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Lonely Mogara in a recent interview. He added that ease of doing business will be achieved by introducing special regulatory, administrative and fis- cal regimes in identified Special Economic Zones (SEZs). “Further, SEZA will address constraints that may generally hinder investment in the country such as work, residence and build- ing permits, Environmental Impact As- sessment (EIA) as well as introducing tax incentives through a dedicated One Stop Service Centre (OSSC),” said Mogara. SEZA was set up to establish, develop, manage and regulate a portfolio of pub- th lic, private and Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) SEZs. Mogara explained that the Authority has a number of key objectives, among them to attract world class investors and diversify Botswana’s economy through increased export revenue and Foreign Di- rect Investment (FDI); develop SEZs that are integrated into the domestic, regional, th and international markets; facilitate cluster development; and create backward and for- Happy 30 ward linkages anchored by targeted inves- tors. “We intend to roll-out a red carpet for SEZ investors through a robust One Stop Birthday Service Centre (OSSC).

Reinvented, Rejuvenated and Ready to Relaunch – Plascon looks to the future

Plascon has remained Africa’s go-to coatings manufacturer for over 130 years as a result of its ability to continuously reinvent itself. This year marks Plascon’s biggest brand renewal yet, with rejuvenated products, exciting initiatives and a bold new look, to top things off.

In preparation for this relaunch, Plascon has been in a state of metamorphosis for quite some time. “Businesses are facing a number of challenges this year and an already tough economic climate has been worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. To continue to remain relevant, we’ve set 2020 as the year to add even more value to our customers in this already difficult market. In addition to the brand’s refreshed aesthetic and corporate identity, a new range of innovative and eco-friendly products that offer incredible new technologies with advantages for personal wellness and the planet will be available through renewed operations, logistics and distribution,” says Gaketshepe Piet Sales & Marketing at Plascon.

The concept behind Plascon’s new logo is a vision of the future. ¬¬This idea of a forward-looking vision is intertwined with the golden thread of re-invention that runs through Plascon. It tells an inspiring and confident story.

The striking new logo replaces the former ellipse shape and takes the typography of the brand name into a more accessible lower case – with a bolder and upright form that communicates confidence and leadership. The letter forms are created with even stroke weights as if made with a paint roller or brush, which adds an extra dimension to brand storytelling.

Plascon’s iconic oval lives on in the open space created by the new vision field and allows the logo to adapt easily to various online and offline communication platforms. The logo lives predominantly in a field of red that is intuitive and responsive and can be used as a tag on various executions.

Plascon’s colour landscape has also been updated from the previous light red to a rich bold red. The primary colour palette is vibrant and evokes the sense of a new Africa, creating standout appeal across the brand assets, elevating Plascon’s presence in the mind of its customers.

Plascon’s new photographic style includes images that speak to its brand story with the paint as the hero. The style is clean, African, modern and approachable. Rooted in Plascon’s heritage, the new identity embraces simplicity and contemporary styling, whilst maintaining the boldness and integrity for which Plascon is known.

Furthering its commitment to environmental conservation has been a big part of Plascon’s relaunch. The brand is taking meaningful steps to reduce its impact on the environment with the introduction of new, eco- friendly products. One of the innovations that Plascon will bring to market in 2020 is Plascon TradePro Roof & More, which contains no APEOs - these harmful chemical compounds pollute the water cycle and destroy marine life. Expect a range of other powerful new products from the country’s leading coatings brand in the latter half of the year, to be launched under the brand’s refreshed corporate identity. These changes affirm Plascon’s re-orientation and refreshed commitment to focus on people and purpose.

Plascon Botswana has been a leading paint supplier in Botswana for over 30 years, a standing built on constant innovation and unwavering trust in the brands quality. Our brands are omnipresent across the Decorative, Retail, Trade, Automotive, Industrial and Protective Coatings sectors. The company has repeatedly set new benchmarks by reimagining and reinventing trustworthy products that make people’s lives easier and better, without compromising on quality, with a focus on developing pioneering products while being conscious of their environmental impact. We conduct our business based on enduring relationships, trust and perseverance. We provide the best possible solutions for our customers’ needs. Our ultimate objective is to create value to our shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers and the community.

GOSEGO MOTSUMI (TAYA) in November. “We are discuss- ing with relevant stakeholders about the n a bid to highlight socio-economic upcoming awards based on government’s issues brought on by the Corona- directives regarding the pandemic,” Bak- Ivirus, Thapong Visual Arts Centre wena said. “We intend to stage the awards is inviting its member-artists to submit because artists have had a rough year.” works predicated on COVID-19, The Bo- Artwork by Mbako Lesetedi tswana Gazette has established. This will be Thapong’s first virtual exhibition and will be displayed on the centre’s social media platforms sometime in August but room has been left for a physical exhibition for a limited number of people. After opening, viewing will strictly be by appointment so as to observe social distancing. “This is so that we access our audiences that are not in the country be- cause our crafts rely heavily on tourists,” said Coordinator, Reginald Bakwena, in an interview. “The physical opening will be for the first 75 patrons or less as per the COV- ID-19 health protocols where social dis- tancing will be maintained. This exhibi- tion will require participants to explore the theme of COVID-19 fully.” Contemporary and fine art are among the hardest hit as art spaces were forced to close, affecting the earning of artists. The market for local art is still made up of tourists mainly but Bakwena says more and more Batswana are supporting artists and buying small crafts. He disclosed that business came to an abrupt halt during lockdowns and the forthcoming exhibition is aimed at re- opening opportunities for the 800 plus Thapong member artists. Artists are en- couraged to interpret, analyse, and proj- ect the COVID-19 situation using their creative perspectives and insight before making submissions of two artworks be- fore 31st July 2020. “As they say, pictures speak a thousand words,” Bakwena said. “We want these submissions to further push public infor- mation about this virus. People are more interested in images than words and this body of works should help in the govern- ment’s efforts to educate people.” The Coordinator of Thapong noted that the pandemic has accelerated changes that were already taking shape as the number of audiences visiting physical art spaces was declining. He observed that even though online viewing does not give the physical hit of encountering a power- ful artwork, it offers time and space away from the crowd to slowly inspect pieces. “Of recent we have found ourselves in a world where we could retreat in fear or co-exist with the virus by moving digital- ly,” he said. “This period has redesigned the way the art world works. We have had a lot of virtual meetings with other regional curators to map a way forward in the midst of the pandemic. By the looks of things, this will be our new normal.” While COVID-19 is having a signifi- cant impact on events planned for 2020, Thapong is not deterred from staging its annual Thapong Artist of the Year awards Page 22 TIMEOUT Wednesday 29 July 2020 The Botswana Gazette

Development of Procurement & Project Management Strategy Closing Date: 10th August 2020 • Develops procurement and project management strategy in line with The Botswana Gazette Wednesday 29 July 2020 business Page 25 Financial Centre FDI Declines By P1.7 Billon TLOTLO KEBINAKGABO Botswana Investment and Trade Centre (BITC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Keletsositse Olebile oreign Direct Investment (FDI) generated through International Fi- Fnancial Services Centre (IFSC) in Botswana declined significantly by almost P1.7 billion between March 2019 and March 2020, a presentation by Botswa- na Investment and Trade Centre (BITC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Keletsosi- tse Olebile has revealed. Olebile made the presentation yesterday (Tuesday) during the BITC media capaci- tation session held in Gaborone. He said the FDI registered through IFSC declined from P2, 242,201,640 as at March 2019 to P691, 278, 273 at the end of March 2020. He attributed the decline to fluctuating market trends. “At times we have what is called wind- PRESS RELEASE falls," he told this publication on the side- lines of the session. “This is whereby some companies engage in massive ex- pansion projects. They tend to mobilize a lot of capital in that particular year. It however, turns out to be a one-of thing. Despite these fluctuations though, a lot of FDI flows into Botswana through these companies”. An IFSC is a set-up that caters to cus- tomers outside the jurisdiction of the do- mestic economy, dealing with inflows of finance, financial products and services across borders. To register under IFSC, a company must be registered in Botswana and make a for- mal application to the International Finan- cial Services Centre Certification Commit- tee through BITC. If the company meets criteria for IFSC certification, BITC will forward a recommendation to the Minis- ter of Finance and Development Planning who will issue a certificate stipulating ap- proved activities. FDI on the other hand is an investment made by a firm or individual in one coun- try into business interests located in anoth- er country. BITC is charged with attracting FDI into Botswana. To that end, Olebile noted that the IFSC sector is essential in Botswana as it positions the country as a regional gateway for financial and capital flows into Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the rest of Afri- ca. He said the country’s IFSC regime cur- rently 51 certified companies of which 23 are operational. Some of the IFSC accred- ited companies in Botswana are Choppies, Motovac, Letshego and Imara Capital Se- curities. Olebile further stated that it is in the best interest of Botswana as a country which has been widely endorsed internationally as an ideal Financial and Business services Hub in Africa, to take a leading position as an attractive hub for regional, cross border financial or capital flows. He said the IFSC Find us on is a big enabler of the broader Financial Services Sector which is the 3rd largest BHCBotswana www.bhc.bw #HelpStopTheSpreadOfCovid-19 contributor to GDP in Botswana.
