Photos delay stock theft case

When the case started yesterday, the defence attorney Richard Josiah of Josiah and Company indicated that he spoke to one of the defence lawyers, Morris Ndawana, who could not make it to court because the state had not given him some sets of photo albums.

Josiah represents the third accused person, Edward Masala (59), while Ndawana stands for the first accused person, 46 year old Nelson Mbuso. The second accused person, Nelson Motshabadira (48) appears for himself. The three are facing three counts of possession of stolen stock outside Botswana between December 13 and 17, 2008 at Gerald Estates in Francistown and some in Tutume.
