Female court bailiffs can flog male convicts-Tshireletso

Responding to a parliamentary question from Nehemiah Modubule Member of Parliament for Lobatse, Tshireletso said that to preserve the dignity of convicts, Dikgosi usually ensure that it is the male court bailiffs that administer corporal punishment on convicted males.

Modubule had cited a situation where a certain female court bailiff was punished for refusing to administer corporal punishment on a convicted male. Tshireletso said she was not aware of that particular situation.
