Eight In Court For Rumour Mongering

The magistrate ruled that the case resume in June amidst complaints from the accused who claim they only ran to Moenga’s house to help.

The case reopened the sensitivities surrounding the November 15, 2011 revolts between residents and police at Moenga’s yard after rumours had spread that Moenga had turned in to snake from the waist down. When the case appeared for case management on Friday, one well known angry Maun resident could be heard outside the court saying the case must not continue stating that he would request President Ian Khama to intervene and stop it.
