Monday, May 29, 2017

JWANENG: Assistant superintendent Obakeng Manewe of Jwaneng police who has had his job hanging on the balance since 2013, breathed a sigh of relief last week after Magistrate Segametsi Basinyi acquitted him on two counts of driving without due care thereby causing an accident and failure to remain at the scene of crime after an accident.

Manewe was accused of hitting a VW Golf car with a VW Polo vivo on the night of August 25, 2013.
