Man pleads guilty to possession of elephant tusk

The accused, who hails from Tutume, entered his own plea, but his co-accused Mbatshi Walila, 30, also from Tutume, pleaded not guilty.

The state alleges that on November 10, 2014, the accused were found with two elephant tusks valued at P62,000 at Dumela Industrial Site in Francistown, but failed to produce  a permit for their possession. The court papers also state that Jerry was found with the tusks after police stopped and searched the BMW car he was driving.
