Patlakwe's accuser is a naughty girl - lawyers

When cross-examining the parents of the girl yesterday, lawyer Basimane Bogopa said that while staying in Palapye with her mother, the girl once spent a night away and later claimed that an unknown man had kidnapped her and a friend then spent the night abusing them. He further claimed that the mother of the girl once confided in Patlakwe's wife that she had moved the girl from Palapye to Mmankgodi so that she could attend school under good parental care and observation. 

The father, who was completing cross-examination, denied any knowledge about the Palapye incident or the alleged love affair between his daughter and a Chibuku guzzler who frequented his place.  Bogopa had initially alleged that a certain young man was banned from entering their home, where they sell Chibuku, because he was in a love relationship with the complainant.
