Gun-Negligent Father 'Jumps The Gun'

The labourer, Sibangelizwe Ncube, 41, had previously only pleaded guilty to the offence of unlawfully entering Botswana in 2001 when he was arraigned in court on September 17, 2021, following the tragic incident that landed him in trouble for leaving a loaded firearm unsecured without any lawful excuse.

Things unravelled for Ncube after one of his two sons from Zimbabwe took the unsecured loaded gun and fatally shot his Motswana half-sister when they were playing in their father’s absence on September 15 at Mogobewabasadi cattle-post.
