Judge removed on medical grounds

01 Feb 2017

President Lt Gen Dr Seretse Khama Ian Khama has removed Justice Kholisani Solo as a Judge at Francistown High Court on account of ill-health with effect from January 11.

A press release from the High Court states that the decision was based on the Report of the Tribunal which was appointed by the president in November consisting of Justice Monametsi Steve Gaongalelwe as Chairman, Justices Terrence Rannowane and Tebogo Tau as members.

The release also says the Tribunal was appointed to carry out an investigation into whether Justice Solo’s medical condition would not possibly render him incapable of continuing to fully and effectively discharge his functions as a judge.

It further says that Justice Solo ought to be removed from office as a judge on medical grounds. BOPA
