Four years later, State fails to link Moremong to robbery :: Mmegi Online

Close to four years since the Gaborone West Industrial Sefalana cash-in-transit robbery, Kabo Moremong has been acquitted after Village Senior Magistrate Tshepo Thedi said the State failed to prove that he shared a criminal purpose with four armed men who carried out the attack.

Moremong, the sole survivor of the massacre shootout of 2022, that left four robbers and two civilians dead, walked free as he was not found guilty by the court for the single count of robbery.

Delivering her judgment, Magistrate Thedi ruled that although Moremong drove the getaway Toyota RunX car used by the four men who stormed Sefalana Cash and Carry, a key question remains whether he knew about the robbery before or participated in its execution. “The critical issue is not whether he transported the assailants. The critical issue is whether the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that he knew of the planned robbery and intentionally associated himself with its execution,” questioned the magistrate.
