Confessions of an ex-cartel boy 41-year-old Selala Tsibele is a man living in fear.
He claims he got involved with a criminal cartel, ripped off his bosses, and is now a wanted man, his former comrades hungry for his blood.
Tsibele originally contacted The Voice back in October shortly after he fled the gang. Plagued by uncertainty, he got cold feet and backed out of the interview at the last moment.
Three months later and he is finally ready to share his chilling tale.
We meet in a backyard in Mochudi at a location Tsibele requests be kept secret.
He is uneasy, visibly twitchy, and on high alert, as if ready to bolt at the slightest sign of trouble. His bloodshot, tired eyes betray the lack of sleep that has haunted his nights ever since he double-crossed his one-time allies.
ASSAULTED: Mohube
A Mochudi man has accused the police of brutalizing him on Christmas Day, claiming that ever since the incident that left him with a bruised face and swollen knees was reported, no action has been taken.
43-year-old Mompati Collen Mohube of Phaphane ward told this publication how a team of police officers, together with soldiers who were on patrol, attacked him while he was preparing to go home after entertainment.
Mohube says he was among a group of about six men who were at the entertainment joint and that the patrolling team forced the other men to leave for their homes and ordered him to stay behind.
