Forty-six In Mental Hospital At President's Pleasure

The Monitor has learnt that the longest serving is a 62-year-old man who was placed under the custody of the hospital in November 1990 then called Lobatse Mental Hospital.

The Monitor investigations have also found that a Mahalapye man, Liberty Mhlanga, still has not found a place at the hospital eight months after the Court of Appeal ruled that he should be transferred from prison to the facility. He was charged with several counts of armed robbery, attempted murder, murder and house break-in over 10 years ago and it was discovered that he was abnormal when he committed the offences.
