S'brana staff shortage affects justice system :: Mmegi Online

LOBATSE: Shortage of staff at the recently opened S'brana Psychiatric Hospital is impacting badly on dispensation of justice. High court judge Justice Michael Leburu was told yesterday that a doctor who was supposed to examine an accused person could not avail the report because he was alone in the office and responsible for administration of the hospital as well as doing patient examination.

The doctor is one of 26 witnesses in a murder case in which Agisanyang Motukwa, son of the deceased, Daniel Sime, Gaolathe Thusang, and Modise Sekai are alleged to have murdered Motlhanka Motukwa on August 10, 2008 at Ntlhantlhe village.

The attorney representing the First Accused person - Motukwa - said that the doctor has conducted two examinations on Motukwa and due to time constraints, could only avail the report by Friday. The case was scheduled for yesterday and today but the trial dates have been shifted to September 13-16. Among the witnesses are a traditional doctor, a spiritual healer, Motukwa's siblings and one of the accused persons, who has since turned State witness.
