Ex-BBS employee on P500, 000 theft charge

It is alleged that Lyra Mosweu stole over half a million Pula while she was still employed as an accountant at BBS. The accused was scheduled to appear before Village Chief Magistrate, Lot Moroka, yesterday. However, the accused and DCEC's investigating officers did not turn up. This left Principal Prosecution Counsel, Merapelo Mokgosi, no options but to make new arrangements with the court for the case to come up for mention on another date. The money is alleged to have been stolen in small amounts between 2004 and 2006.
