A 38 year-old man received four strokes of the whip at the Urban Customary Court yesterday, after he was found guilty of common nuisance. Tiroyaone Kgari was punished after he was found gambling in the street on Tuesday.

Police officers pounced on the Molepolole man while he was gambling using three red bottle tops under the bridge near the Gaborone Bus Rank. Kgari and his associates were engaged in a popular but illegal gambling trick where members of the public are asked to guess under which bottle top a coin is.
