Former Chief Executive Officer of the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC), Tuelo Serufho appeared before Extension II Magistrates court this week facing charges of threat to kill and common assault.
Serufho who cut a lonely figure in court is accused of having uttered the words, “I am to kill you B***h, you home wrecker, o nthubela lelwapa (you are wrecking my marriage),’ to Mpho Elizabeth Pule.
The 50-year-old Serufho is said to have warned Pule to stop exploring partnered dating possibilities for his wife. Information gathered from court is that Serufho went further and assaulted her wife’s friend until she sustained multiple bruises last Friday at Gaborone Golf Club.
Serufho is scheduled to return to court on the September 10th for further proceedings.
When reached for comment the former BNSC boss referred questions to his lawyer, Unoda Mack.
“Since the matter is now before the court I cannot comment on it and in case I find myself being held for contempt of court, please talk to my lawyer,” wass all he could say.
His lawyer, Unoda Mack had not responded to our questions at press time.
Serufho was appointed Acting BNSC CEO in 2020 but later got a four year renewable contract in June the following year.
However, his contract was not renewed when it came to an end in May this year.
Before that he served as Botswana National Olympic Committee CEO, having started as Development Officer for Botswana Tennis Association and rose through the ranks of BNSC until he was head of Research, Monitoring and Valuation Unit.
