Magistrate Defrauded

The 23-year-old Rueben Kasanikwa and Dikeledi Green (43) are charged with obtaining by false pretence. They are alleged to have acted together with intent to defraud and obtained a silver Toyota Hilux Surf vehicle valued at P54 000 belonging to Magistrate Odirile Mokgatle.

The prosecutor Edwin Supang stated that investigations in the matter are still ongoing and they are yet to arrest the third accused person and find the vehicle in question. However the defence  pleaded with court to withdraw the matter pending lengthy investigations. He said the state is at liberty to reinstate the case once their investigations are complete.
