State seeks to amend Kgosi charges

During his mention this week, the prosecution indicated that it would like to amend the charge sheet that currently has six charges, which include possession of ammunition and forged passports.

Though Sifelani Thapelo, the substantive prosecutor for the case was not present, the State made the intention clear and sought a further date so that a new charge sheet could be prepared for the next court appearance. However, Kgosi’s defence attorney, Thabiso Tafila, was not impressed with the State’s conduct of wanting to drag the case. He questioned why the State rushed to register the case and only to later delay its progress with issues that do not even take time to deal with. “It's like the case is still under investigation. Why did they rush when they knew investigations were still underway? They want to amend the charge sheet, it doesn’t even take a minute to do so, why do they want more time? I have noticed the state of my displeasure but I will leave it to court,” he said.
