Kgang moves to quash corruption charge sheet

The state alleges that the accused person, Kgang, sometime between November 2023 and May 2024 at Mogoditshane, whilst serving as a member and board chairperson of Kweneng Land Board, used his position as such to unlawfully obtain Plot 2064 Ledumadumane, which was lawfully allocated to Boitshwarelo Motlhabane in 1994, and erected two structures thereon.

On August 15, 2025, Kgang, through his attorney Busang Manewe, gave notice to the DPP of their intention to move a motion to quash the indictment/charge sheet when the matter comes up before the Regional Magistrate on August 28, 2025. Manewe laid the basis for the motion to quash the indictment or the charge, saying: "The charge is calculated to prejudice or embarrass the client in his defence. The client is charged with corruption, but the specific offence created by Section 24A(1) of the Corruption and Economic Crime Act is called 'Abuse of Public Office'. This is the first defect in this charge. The charge is bereft of clarity and particularity".
