Modenga hospitalised

Mmegi has learnt that he was taken to PMH, where he was hospitalised, after complaining to prison officials that he was diabetic and was not feeling well following the Monday court appearance. It is alleged that he claimed that the police arrested and took him to Gaborone without his medication. Yesterday Modenga was supposed to have appeared before Broadhurst Magistrate, Lilian Madabane for bail ruling but failed to do so since he was still hospitalised.

The prosecution in this matter therefore pleaded with the court for extension of his remand in prison until his recovery. The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) councillor for Mosewapula ward was last week Saturday arrested at his party’s congress that was held in Tonota after many such attempts by the police were unsuccessful.
