JWANENG: Arnold Rapholo, who was given a chance to escape a robbery charge that attracts 10 years imprisonment, this week failed to give satisfying evidence before Magistrate Basetsana Keakantse and he was reinstated to join other accused in the dock immediately.

Rapholo was to relate events that led to the stealing of a generator, water pumps as well as assault of Jack Moilwa with the back of an axe.

Rapholo agreed to borrow a donkey cart and parked it some metres away from the yard to load the stolen items.
