Kgafela buys time for death row inmate

Gabaokelwe was sentenced to death and given lengthy jail terms for the murder of his stepdaughter, his minor biological child and his girlfriend, Keneilwe Ndolo.

His appeal against the death sentence was recently dismissed by the Court of Appeal. In their affidavits before court,  Kgafela and DITSHWANELO averred that they are petitioning the court on behalf of Gabaokelwe as they are of the opinion that he is unable to do so from death row. Kgafela submitted that he is doing this as a kgosikgolo responsible for  protecting the rights of his tribe and any other voiceless Motswana.
