Morupisi, wife trial Day 2: Defence accuses state of witness intimidation

Senior counsel Busang Manewe told the court that they had intended to call the former acting chief executive officer of the Botswana Public Officer Pension Fund (BPOPF), Lesedi Moakofhi to the stand as the third witness, but she pulled out at the last minute. 

"We indicated to the court prior to the trial that we will call three witnesses, but we have since reverted to only two being the accused persons. We have been under the impression that she will appear to give her evidence, but it turns out she has been intimidated to do so, in that case, we won't be calling her as our third witness,” Manewe submitted.
