Monday, April 20, 2015

PALAPYE: Ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) Lerala East councillor Kabo Ketshogile, 32, last week appeared before Chief Magistrate Rebecca Motsamai for allegedly having sex with a school going under-age girl.

Ketshogile is alleged to have had sexual intercourse with the complainant in 2011 while the complainant at the time was 15 years old and doing her Form Two at Mmaphula Junior Secondary School (JSS) in Palapye.

The politician was 28 at the time.

It is also alleged that he returned to pick the girl again from her house in the evening near Thogo Ya Monna shopping complex and went to a nearby bush for yet another round of sex in the bush.
