TREASON and murder-accused politicians, Mothetjoa Metsing and Selibe Mochoboroane, have accused the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Advocate Hlalefang Motinyane, of abusing court processes and denying them the right to a fair trial.
This after DPP Motinyane opposed their application for stay of their prosecution pending their Court of Appeal application to stop their trial until after the implementation of the multi-sector reforms.
The duo argues that Adv Motinyane had initially agreed to defer their trial and her “sudden change of mind” was an abuse of court processes which was likely to deny them their constitutional right to a fair trial.

FORMER Deputy Prime Minister Mothetjoa Metsing and current Development Planning Minister Selibe Mochoboroane will have to wait longer to learn if their bid to avoid trial for treason succeeds.
This after Chief Justice Sakoane Sakoane on Thursday reserved judgement in their High Court application from joining them to the trial alongside former army commander, Lieutenant General Tlali Kamoli and three other soldiers.
After hearing arguments from the state and the duo’s lawyers, Justice Sakoane reserved judgement to a date to be announced, saying he “had to first consider the submissions made” by both sides.
