Councillor Tabengwa receives death threats

Friday, June 17, 2011

FRANCISTOWN: Botswana Congress Party (BCP) councillor Tabengwa Tabengwa has reported to police death threats made to him by relatives of Kabelo Putswedi Molalapata since the court acquitted him of murdering Molalapata.

The long serving BCP councillor for Ikageng ward in Francistown, alleges that Molalapata's relatives uttered threats to kill him at the Francistown High Court after the judgment last week.

"One woman said that I am going to die and if not, they will do everything possible to take my life," said Tabengwa. He said the relatives were discussing this as a group but he managed to identify one woman because she was a prosecution witness in the case.
