Sebele found guilty of stock theft

Molepolole Magistrate, Dumisane Basupi convicted Sebele yesterday and remanded him in custody pending investigations whether he has previous convictions. The former Bakwena regent was found guilty of stealing a billy goat worth P800 belonging to Mhiko Gabatlale of Sojwe. The magistrate said the six defence witnesses were unreliably hence it would be difficult unreliable for the court to trust their evidence.

On the other hand, Basupi found that not all the state witnesses were trigger-happy and stood their ground under tough cross-examination from defence attorney, Shame Taimu.
