Members of the Matsetsenkane gang appearing before Molepolole Magistrates' Court last year

Lyndon Mothusi, who was recently readmitted to practice, will appear in court this week representing the notorious Thamaga gang, popularly known as Matsetsenkane. Mothusi has been engaged by the Botswana Institute of Rehabilitation and Integration of Offenders (BIRRO).

Matsetsenkane face several criminal charges after terrorising the Thamaga community, committing various crimes, which left the nation shocked.

The notorious gang, largely made up of school going teenagers led by the fearsome school drop-outs, have for the past years taken to beating, maiming, robbing and even killing with impunity. Their murder and assault cases are pending before the Molepolole Magistrates Court.
