Magistrate finds lawyer's witness hostile

Last week, another witness, Bachaile Sekoto, was also declared a hostile witness following an application by state prosecutor, Kgosietsile Ngakaagae. Mothusi has been slapped with another charge of fabricating evidence in the case in which he has been convicted of conspiracy to commit fraud, obtaining by false pretences and money laundering.

"You are a liar," said Moroka, adding that it would be a tragedy if the country's criminal justice system made rulings based on false statements made by witnesses.
