Magistrate to rule on defilement case

Giving evidence before court, Detective Sergeant Babugi Tsatsi of Gerald Estate Police Station's criminal investigation unit said he received information from a reliable source in 2008 that Chawada Engleton had dropped out of school.

"The reliable source said she was doing Standard Six at Tangala Primary School. I went to school to ask Simisane Makgetlwa (the school head teacher) to confirm and also contacted the Engleton family and both parties confirmed that Chawada had dropped out of school," Sergeant Tsatsi said.
