Score Employee Admits Cigarette Theft

However, Moses Mooketsi of Peleng earned a reprieve when Kgosi Pius Letsholo wholly suspended his seven-year jail term. Before the sentence, the convict said he does not know what tempted him to commit the crime. "I had no intention of stealing at all." He asked the court not to sentence him to prison as he is the one looking after his ailing grandmother.

"I am the one looking after her, cooking and doing everything for her," he pleaded. Letsholo told him that he had all the intention of stealing the cigarettes knowing exactly what he was going to do with it. "But the court will take into consideration your pleas in passing judgment since this is your first offence."
