Butterfly case will end in tears for the State

Government institutions, Kapinga said, must never be used to pursue false and malicious charges against citizens however we may dislike or hate them. We must be concerned about this new phenomenon in Botswana and ensure it does not rear its ugly head, he said.  

This observation was made in the context of a recent finding by the High Court that the DPP had deliberately lied under oath in order to press charges against the Kebonang brothers, Sadique and Zein. On Tuesday the State once again was found wanting in its claim that Butterfly was a financer of terrorism in Botswana.
