Chief Magistrate Gofaone Morweng has handed down a six-year prison sentence to a 38-year-old man for choking a magistrate and assaulting a police officer.

Mogorosi Korae was found guilty and convicted on two accounts. “The accused appeared before this court as an aggressive individual who thrives on intimidating people.
