Former transport officer appeals against conviction

The appellant, who was represented by Duma Boko, argued that the state witnesses were unreliable and that he did not offer to accept for himself any valuable consideration as inducement.

Rebookgama was found guilty of receiving payment in the form of money for issuing people with drivers licences while employed by the department of transport as a transport officer. Boko is arguing that the court should focus on the witnesses instead of his client. He says one witness Moseki Moseki only had contact with Onita Phutego, whom he had given the money to on the grounds that he was acting on behalf of Rebookgama.
