Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Part of the court-of-public-opinion trial of a matter in which the (suspended) president of the Botswana Patriotic Front president, Reverend Biggie Butale, is alleged to have sexually assaulted a university student has taken the form of some questioning why she didn\u2019t report the matter to the police. Oddly and in keeping with non-legal standards of that court, proceedings have been bereft of important details. The missing detail is to be found in a written report that followed an interview with the alleged victim, a student at the Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (BUAN) by an all-female panel. The interview was conducted by two members of the National Executive Committee: BPF\u2019s Deputy President, Caroline Lesang and the Secretary for Education, Reitumetse Aphiri. While designated as panel member, Magdalene Joubert, who was also in the NEC, didn\u2019t show up for this particular interview \u2013 which took place on May 21, 2021.<\/b><\/p>\n

On the fateful evening, the student, who was running for a position in the BUAN student government, had visited Mr. Butale\u2019s house. By her account, as recorded in the Lesang-Aphiri report, Butale pounced within minutes of her entering the house.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Butale blocked her and pulled her towards him, and as she tried to resist, he asked her if she wants to have sex with him, and pulled out a condom and he said it wouldn\u2019t take long. She said he showed her the sofa, which she refused to do. She said he further pinned her to the wall, and she tried to resist, and it was at that point that Mr. Butale took out his penis and placed it between her thighs, and started thrusting until he ejaculated between her thighs. Afterwards, he showed her the bathroom to go and clean up, and handed her a bottle of water,\u201d the report reads.<\/p>\n

Thereafter, Butale reportedly asked the students to spend the night but she says that she refused. Butale then drove her back to BUAN, which is on the outskirts of Gaborone. Upon arrival back at campus, the first person that she told about what had just happened to her was her best friend. Upon hearing the story, the friend said that Butale had \u201cmolested\u201d the student.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer friend explained that the challenge was that she had wiped the evidence by cleaning herself off and the police would not believe her without the evidence. She said she then decided to keep quiet about the incident and brush it aside,\u201d says the report adding that as a way of coping with the assault, \u201cshe decided to take some time off to get over what had happened to her, and during this time she became reserved and didn\u2019t talk or communicate much until she met Mr. Ookeditse.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latter is Lawrence Ookeditse who is BPF\u2019s Secretary for Publicity. Upon their meeting, the student said that she asked Ookeditse what kind of person Butale was \u2013 then told him what he had done to her \u201cmuch to his shock and disbelief.\u201d As the friend, Ookeditse \u201creiterated that without evidence it would be difficult to report him.\u201d<\/p>\n

At a press conference that he addressed last month, Butale also mentioned Ookeditse in connection with this saga but in a totally different context. As part of a broader and widely divergent account, Butale alleged that it was Ookeditse who prompted the student to ensnare him by recording a telephone conversation in which she falsely accused him of sexually assaulting her.<\/p>\n

During a conversation that has been packaged into an audio clip, Butale asks the student, \u201cDid you come\u201d and whether she \u201cenjoyed\u201d the sexual encounter. In the interview with Lesang and Aphiri, the student said that she subsequently confronted Butale via a phone text message \u201cabout what he did\u201d, telling him that \u201che had molested her\u201d and that she had hoped that he \u201cwould respond to her, but he instead started calling her and denied any wrongdoing.\u201d The part about hope is not very clear but it would seem that she had hoped that Butale would also respond communicate in like manner.<\/p>\n

A few days later, the student received a message from a friend that \u201cMr Butale was roaming around the school, angrily looking for her. She indicated that Mr. Butale came to her room and knocked at the door, and she chased him away because she could not face him after what happened.\u201d What irked her the most was that not only did he deny what he did to her but was also not willing to apologise. It was then that she decided \u201cto record their conversations to gather her own evidence against him, and eventually opted to report her case to the BPF NEC in the hope that Mr. Butale would apologise to her.\u201d The report adds that \u201call she wanted was for Mr. Butale to admit wrongdoing and apologise to her, so she could put it all behind her.\u201d<\/p>\n

The issue of reporting the matter to the police came up again during the question-and-answer that followed the student making a statement to Lesang and Aphiri at the BUAN campus. When Aphiri asked the student if she ever considered this option, her response was that she did but was scared that it was going to be her word against his.\u201d It also turns out that a female BPF member, who is named in the report and also learnt about the alleged sexual assault before it became public, \u201ccalled her and convinced her not to tell anybody about this issue.\u201d Another BPF member, who was helping the student in her campaign at BUAN, \u201cadvised her to switch off her phone and not talk to anyone and that she should stay off social media.\u201d<\/p>\n

This member also advised her not speak to three particular fellow BPF members. The report doesn\u2019t explain why \u2013 only that they visited her at school in apparent effort to comfort her. From what Sunday Standard learns, one of those members was an NEC member who would later take Butale\u2019s side when the NEC tried hauling Butale over the coals over the matter.<\/p>\n

The student said that the incident traumatised, angered and instilled fear in her and exposed her to ridicule from other students. The latter adversely affected her campaign for student office. For what it is worth, BUAN management provided emotional support. On the advice of school management, the student consulted a professional counsellor. She also received similar support from her family as well as her boyfriend. The latter advised her \u201cto wait until the emotions had worn off then she could confront Mr. Butale.\u201d<\/p>\n
