THE Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Advocate Hlalefang Motinyane, has slammed politicians, Mothetjoa Metsing and Selibe Mochoboroane, for persisting with their “opportunistic” court applications to stop or defer their treason and murder trial.
DPP Motinyane said Messrs Metsing and Mochoboroane were being opportunistic and abusing the court processes by belatedly challenging the Constitutional Court’s November 2018 judgement outlawing clause 10 of the October 2018 SADC-brokered government-opposition agreement which sought to shield them and other politicians from prosecution until after the implementation of the multi-sector reforms.
DPP Motinyane said “everything cannot come to a standstill because there is a document signed by politicians to stultify the trial on the basis that the politicians are participating in the reforms process”.

DEMOCRATIC Congress (DC) leader, Mathibeli Mokhothu, is leaving no stone unturned in his avowed quest to secure an outright victory in next year’s general elections to give his party the mandate to govern alone.
The deputy prime minister has so far embarked on several campaign strategies including “disguised” birthday celebrations and food donations to various constituencies to avoid falling foul of strict Covid-19 regulations which bar political gatherings.
Over the weekend, he made the short trip across the border into Bloemfontein to meet the family of the late feared famo singer, Rethabile Mokete. Popularly known as Mosotho Chakela, the singer-cum Terene gang leader, died of Covid-19 related complications in January this year.
