When court turns into 'immediate family'

Prosecutor, Kabo Leinaeng, of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions initiated the first step into the realm of a contest of semantics.

In laying out elements of the offence against Lionjanga, the prosecution contended, amongst the things, that they ought to prove that an immediate family member of Lionjanga, being his nephew, Kagiso Makgekgenene, and Lionjanga's sister, Alice Makgekgenene, had a direct interest in a company that proposed to deal with Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Board (PPADB).
