Magistrate recuses himself from Kabo Sebele case

Yesterday, Magistrate Nehemiah Mnguni told the court that he would transfer the case to the Regional Magistrate (South). "He will in turn make a decision on whether to allocate it to another magistrate or handle it himself", Mnguni said.

Kabo Sebele, Kgosimotse Sebele, Motlhabatsatsi Nkonyane appeared before Magistrate Mnguni last week charged with a single count of threatening the life of judicial officer Dumisane Terrence Basupi. The complainant had earlier on sentenced their relative Kgosikwena Sebele to four years in prison for stealing a billy goat.
