Tshosa resigns

Former High Court judge Onkemetse Tshosa has resigned, effectively dissolving a tribunal set up to determine his fate after his conviction and sentence for assault last month. Tshosa delivered his resignation to President Ian Khama yesterday morning, scuttling the tribunal on the day it was due to re-convene. 

The controversial former judge first stunned the tribunal when he delivered a sick note from his doctor on August 1, the day the tribunal was scheduled to start its work.
