Stop floggings or else... - DPP

DPP's Kgositsile Ngakaagae said in court yesterday that the application is meant to protect the population of Mochudi against continued floggings. He was addressing the court in the case in which Bakgatla royals, among them paramount chief Kgafela Kgafela and Mmusi Kgafela are accused of unlawful floggings.

Ngakaagae said they have taken the decision to file the urgent application after their discussions with the defence led by advocate Sidney Pilane to get the two parties to agree to the halt of the floggings as a condition in the bail application failed. Magistrate Lot Moroka granted the accused bail after the DPP did not oppose the bail application.
