On Monday Gabalape Matsime (32) who is the accused in the murder of a female police officer Onkemetse Motiki (36) told the Broadhurst Magistrate Court that he was not able to submit his bail appeal papers to the High Court because he cannot write.

During his last mention Matsime had pleaded with Magistrate Goratile Moremi-Ramakoloi to give him the court papers in order to process an appeal before the High Court. Matsime wanted to appeal following the Magistrate court's decision to deny him bail.

Surprisingly yesterday when Magistrate Moremi-Ramakoloi asked Matsime if he had gone ahead with writing to the High Court, Matsime shocked the court when he said he can’t write. “I have not written to the High Court yet and I have not written to the court because I literally know nothing about writing, I can’t even write,” Matsime said before court.
