State drops part of prison ARV challenge

Gift Mwale, who is currently serving a 10-year sentence for robbery and buys the lifesaving drugs from his pocket, was last week given a chance by High Court Judge Key Dingake to file supplementary papers in his suit demanding that government either free him or provide him with the ARVs.

It was the second technical victory for Mwale after the supplementary papers were struck off when his attorneys, Friday Leburu and Kabo Motswagole, failed to pass them through the Commissioner of Oath for signing.
