Kgosi defence accuse State of seeking an appeal against bail

The team comprising of senior attorneys Unoda Mack and Thabiso Tafila yesterday when appearing before the Gaborone High Court Judge, Michael Motlhabi to defend the State application said State wanted to appeal the matter but rushed to court on reasons that it was a review for the bail ruling.

According to Mack, the State has no reason to be seeking a review against Village Magistrate Lindiwe Makgoro’s bail ruling on Kgosi because she was following the rule of law. “There is nothing to review about the ruling, in fact, this is an appeal disguised as a review. The Magistrate was following the law when deciding on the matter,” he said.
