FRANCISTOWN: A man who apparently cannot refrain from causing trouble was Wednesday denied bail by Justice Tshegofatso Mogomotsi following his spirited attempt to gain his freedom back.

The applicant, Tshepang Bonkgonne, left the court disappointed after it dismissed his bail application outright because he had a penchant for committing more offences and not attending court whilst on bail.

When denying Bonkgonne bail, Justice Mogomotsi said that according to the affidavit of the Investigations Officer (IO), Bonkgonne has housebreaking offences in the Palapye magisterial jurisdiction. Mogomotsi added that the IO also stated that Bonkgonne has other robbery cases in the Selebi-Phikwe jurisdiction that were withdrawn with liberty to reinstate by the State because Bonkgonne“disappeared without trace after he was charged with the offences.”

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
