Maboka says they are still investigating the case.
In January, the Attorney General, Athaliah Molokomme, issued a press release regarding what she considered to have been illegal application of corporal punishment in Mochudi.  In her statement, Molokomme stated the circumstances under which corporal punishment can be meted out.

She said corporal punishment should only be applied on people who are 40 years-old or younger. It has to be administered on the buttocks only and not on the back. It is only applied to males.
