More soup in the pan for Mhlauli

The state is appealing on a point of law after the Mahalapye Magistrate's Court acquitted Mhlauli on September 12, 2005 on a charge of threat to kill.

Mhlauli was charged on 14 August 2004 for threat to kill in Mahalapye and it is alleged that without lawful excuse he threatened to kill Isabella Lefhoko and Mokganedi Nkopo by uttering the words "mpulelang, e seng jalo ke a le bolaya - open up or else I am going to kill you". It is also alleged that Mhauli further uttered a threat to Nkopo by uttering the words "didimala o ma--te, ke a lo bolaya ga ke reetse sepe" or words to that effect: "Keep quiet, your testicles. I am going to kill you both".
