Three inmates convicted of stocktheft say they were held at gunpoint and forced to steal cattle and drive the stock to an undisclosed destination.

Appearing before the Court of Appeal, Buti Mfolwe, Tebogo Mangadi and Diketso Moilwa told court that the magistrate who convicted and sentenced them failed to acknowledge that they were threatened with a gun to steal the cattle.

Mfolwe and Mangadi are serving five years and Moilwa seven years imprisonment. The trio accused the police of failing to arrest the person who held them at gunpoint to commit the crime. Mfolwe told court that they were acting on strict orders from an armed person who ordered them to select cattle and drive them to a destination of that person’s choice.
