Unpaid bills land gabs fashion queen in prison

Thanks to her family, the fashion designer was able to go back to her event after family intervention that saw her debts of P18,000 at the hotel settled quickly to secure her immediate release.However, on Thursday Gaborone West Police told The Monitor that they have a pending criminal case of fraud against the well-travelled fashion designer. Officer-in-Charge at Gaborone West Police's Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Assistant Superintendent Tlotlanang Mogwase, said the hotel had reported that Chiepe paid them with bouncing cheques.However, Mogwase said they are still investigating the case, adding that they have also requested the bank to furnish them with information showing the status of Chiepe's bank account at the time she wrote the dishonoured cheques.On the night she was whisked away from her second fashion show, Chiepe had staged a similar event at Ditshupo Hall also in Gaborone.
