Death row inmate, Patrick Gabaakanye’s lawyer, Letsweletse Dingake has successfully asked the Court Of Appeal (CoA) to postpone his appeal until the July session.

Appearing before justices Isaac Lesetedi, Elijah Legwaila and Monametsi Gaongalelwe yesterday, Dingake sought postponement on grounds that he was not aware that the matter was scheduled for the day.

“I was not aware that this matter was to be heard today, I was only informed after I was phoned by my client yesterday that the matter has been called before the court,” he said. Gabaakanye was last year sentenced to death for killing a visually impaired man at Ga-mosusu Lands near Metsimotlhabe village.  The 55-year-old serial offender was also sentenced to five years imprisonment for unlawful wounding.
