This was at least their position by the close of business on Sunday when bemoaning that the police have thus far not done anything towards the exhumation of their deceased daughter.

Justice Michael Motlhabi of the Lobatse High Court on November 30, 2023, ruled that the Commissioner of Police shall facilitate and conduct exhumation or cause to be exhumed the body of Pedzani Mosala at their own cost within seven days from the date of the order.

Moreover, according to Motlhabi's order, the commissioner shall secure the services of a government pathologist to conduct a postmortem on the body of Mosala within a reasonable time from the date of the order.
