THERE was drama in the High Court after Botswana Judge Onkemetse Tshosa angrily chided defence lawyer Kabelo Letuka for suggesting the judge was lying when he said that the defence had not filed any papers to oppose politicians’ Mothetjoa Metsing and Selibe Mochoboroane’s High Court application for a postponement of their treason and murder trial.
Former Deputy Prime Minister Metsing, who leads the opposition Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) and Development Planning Minister Mochoboroane, who leads the Movement for Economic Change (MEC) have been charged alongside former army commander, Lieutenant General Tlali Kamoli and three others with treason against the first government of former Prime Minister Thomas Thabane.

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”.
