This past weekend Team M&K (also known as Team Mufasa), participated in the annual Chats Foundation Wellness Day, an event hosted by the Chats Bua Le Nna Foundation dedicated to raising awareness on gender-based violence and providing support to victims and organizations tackling GBV in Botswana.
There’s nothing quite like the atmosphere of good fun and a little bit of healthy competition to bring about a sense of team spirit and boost morale!
We’d like to thank the Chats Bua Le Nna Foundation for including us in the event and their fight against GBV.
We stand together with all the victims of gender-based violence as we fight for a better future.
In the spirit of being collaborative, M&K Botswana is pleased to have hosted attorneys from Manokore Attorneys, a member DLA Piper Africa from Harare, Zimbabwe. Steve and Hilary were on a benchmarking mission and spent 2 days with our Financial Recoveries Department.
We look forward to seeing them again.

This past Friday we had the pleasure of hosting an insurance seminar for our esteemed clients, practising as insurers. At the seminar we discussed every day practical issues that are encountered in the insurance industry such as insurance litigation, the concept of subrogation and that of time bar. The goal, in discussing these practical issues, was to facilitate the handover of claims and streamline the process of communication between us, Minchin & Kelly (Botswana), and our clients, so as to improve our attorney-client relationship. We have no doubt that this will result in the advancement of our ability to represent our clients diligently in the insurance landscape.
We thank all those who contributed towards the success of this seminar.
