Blows up baby daddy’s Corolla outside police station
A Mmankgodi woman who set fire to her baby daddy’s car, effectively blowing it up outside Thamaga Police Station last year, has admitted her guilt.
Appearing before Molepolole Magistrates Court this week, 33-year-old Thato Thobega pleaded guilty to causing malicious damage to property.
The fiery incident played out on 6 March 2020, shortly after Thobega and her then boyfriend, Kenanao Pholo, had driven to Thamaga from Gaborone.
According to Thamaga Station Commander, Moses Kwarare, during the 50km drive the couple – who have a child together – started arguing, with Thobega repeatedly accusing Pholo of sleeping with other women. Although he denied cheating on her, his denials only served to enrage Thobega further.
