The Gaborone Regional magistrate court has ruled that attorney Kgosietsile Ngakaagae is conflicted to represent Bakgatla royal Bana Sekai in a long-dragging criminal case involving victims of flogging in Mochudi in 2010.

The court ruled on Friday that Sekai and five others are facing charges of assault and causing grievous bodily harm during flogging incidents that happened in Kgatleng. Ngakaagae, who is a former employee of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP), at some point was prosecutor in the case in which he turned defence lawyer after setting up own law firm.

When delivering his ruling, magistrate Lentlhabetse Willie agreed with the prosecution that the defence counsel is conflicted in the matter. He said that his conduct is unethical and unacceptable.
