Tug of war over Mujangi evidence settled

FRANCISTOWN: The prosecution and defence recently slugged it out over the admissibility of a document that was translated by an expert from the Customary Court of Appeal (CCoA) in a murder case implicating a former cop, Atlholang Mujangi, for the murder of his girlfriend.

The origin of the document is traceable to the time when Mujangi allegedly visited Pastor Milidzani Sox of the Breath Life Church for assistance.  It was during the visit when Mujangi allegedly confessed to murdering his former girlfriend, Bokani Sox, in 2014. Bokani was a nurse at Nyangabgwe Referral Hospital in Francistown then. Pastor Sox (not related the murdered woman) became a key figure and witness in the matter after police gave him a recorder to capture a conversation between himself and Mujangi after the alleged confession.

When allegedly confessing to the murder the day before, Mujangi is said to have asked the preacher for help because “Bokani Sox was haunting him in his sleep”.
