Teacher changes plea to not guilty in exam paper theft scandal

Marobela (33) had pleaded guilty during his arraignment before the Maun magistrate, Phanidiwe Taka a week ago. The magistrate postponed the proceedings to yesterday's date after it emerged in court that Marobela was not given a chance to seek legal counsel before he entered the guilty plea.

He has since enrolled the services of Maun-based lawyer, Charles Tlagae who has indicated that his client has to change his plea because he was 'pressured' into entering the guilty plea.
