Media banned at Majaga trial :: Mmegi Online

There is considerable public interest in the case in which the Member of Parliament for Nata-Gweta, Polson Majaga, allegedly defiled a minor between September 2019 and May 2020, at Malelejwe cattle post. But, alas, the public will never really know what transpired during his trial after the media was bundled out of the courtroom, Mmegi Correspondent LEBOGANG MOSIKARE reports

NATA: Before Majaga’s alleged defilement case started in earnest on Monday, journalists waited eagerly for it to start. They had to endure “other matters” that were before it.

Before Majuta cleared the Court, the defence attorney, Mishingo Jeremia had told Court that the defence would admit 13 witnesses.
