Former death-row inmate freed

Molefe’s sentence was backdated to 2000, from the time when he was arrested with his accomplice, Brandon Kgomotso Sampson.  At the time when he was released, he had only served an effective 14 years of the 20-year jail term. 

Speaking in an interview with Mmegi, Department of Prisons and Rehabilitation Public Relations Officer Wamorena Ramolefe said that every prisoner is entitled to a conditional pardon.  He said it all depends on how the prisoner behaves in jail.
