After misbehaving and accusing court of being harsh on him during his previous mention, Oageng Moagi Letsholo (40) today begged for the court’s forgiveness.

Faced with an offense of unlawful wounding after stabbing his girlfriend, Kediemetse Sebopi, with a knife on December 18, 2017 at Old Naledi in Gaborone, Letsholo told court he had lost it and ended up misbehaving.

“In my previous mention I left this court angry hence I am not proud of my behaviour then. The victim followed me to my place, and attacked me whilst I was naked and bathing, but before court it appears as if I am the one who followed and attacked her. I was only defending myself and she ended up being hurt. I am sorry for my behaviour. I am currently under a lot of stress and I have booked myself to undergo counseling. I was unhappy that court did not want to hear my side of story,” Letsholo said.
