One CMS fraud suspect confessed, says magistrate

Somolekae was giving evidence before Regional Magistrate Lot Moroka yesterday where she told the court that on June 3, 2008, Nthibo was brought before her in Mochudi and said that he wanted to confess his involvement in the multi-million-fraud case.

Somolekae told the court that as a judicial officer she followed the normal procedure of recording a confession statement. She told the court that she ushered Nthibo into her office and  thereafter went outside to ensure that none of the officers accompanying Nthibo was spying on them.
