LOBATSE: South African national Patrick Cole and his company Usassa Construction won some respite yesterday when Lobatse High Court ruled that their conviction and sentence were a nullity.

Cole, Norman Maja, Bushy Nthibo, David Tumagole, Patrick Cole and Abram Marumo were convicted and sentenced to various prison terms by now Lobatse High Court Judge Lot Moroka for defrauding the Central Medical Stores (CMS) of about P21 million.

Yesterday, Steven Gaongalelwe found that Cole, his company and Tumagole were convicted on a defective charge sheet and ordered a re-trial of the trio. "It is therefore ordered that Patrick Cole, Ussasa Construction and David Tumagole be released on charges under this case and they are to be re-tried under a properly drafted charge sheet," Gaongalelwe ordered.
