Patlakwe rape case adjourned to Friday

Bogopa told Village Magistrate, Olivier Zvedi that the state had failed to establish all the essential elements of a rape charge. He said the testimony against his client was unsafe because of the many contradictions. Patlakwe is a former Btv head of news and is currently working as the communications manager at the Public Enterprises Evaluation and Privatisation Agency (PEEPA). He is accused of raping a 16-year-old girl at a lodge in Mogoditshane in June last year after giving her a lift from Mmakgodi.
