In an interview with Mmegi Online following the judgment, Morupisi maintained his innocence. The former PSP, now a convict, still maintains the “truth will come out”.

As he said goodbye to his family for the last time as a free man, at least for the next seven years, Morupisi said he did not regret bringing an appeal forward.
