Yesterday, the alleged victim wrapped up her day and a half in-camera testimony and cross-examination. Mmegi has learnt that the victim’s brother will testify in open court this morning as one of four witnesses the State intends to bring. The other three will include a medical doctor who examined the victim as well as the case’s investigating officer.
It is understood that Masilo’s defence lawyer, Kgosietsile Ngakaagae will bring three witnesses, although their identities or designations are yet to be disclosed.
Masilo is alleged to have robbed and raped the woman on August 9, 2012 at Phase 4 location in Gaborone West. The State says Masilo also caused grievous bodily harm to his victim during the process of raping and robbing her.

Besides his rape and robbery charges, Masilo is separately charged with the murder of a 17-year-old St Joseph’s College female student on November 16, 2012. The case captured widespread public attention at the time.
