FRANCISTOWN: The Member of Parliament for Tonota, Pono Moatlhodi has made an undertaking to pay P40,000 to a minor that he allegedly assaulted in order for charges against him to be withdrawn.

The state alleges that the UDC legislator and married couple, Maranyane Kebitsang, 68, and Nnyana Kebitsang, 61, acting in concert subjected Kesego Olekantse, now 12, to inhuman treatment on January 30, 2019 by assaulting him in Tonota. 

The trio is alleged to have thereafter unleashed a vicious dog to bite Olekantse causing him puncture wounds and bruises on his face and body contrary to the Children’s Act.
