Estimated reading time: 4 minute(s)
A court case against Klerksdorp Magistrates Court security guard has been postponed pending further investigations.
The 50 years old Kgangetsile Motsumi is facing charges of housebreaking and theft. He is out on a warning and his court appearance emanates from an incident that occurred on Sunday, 23 July 2023, wherein he entered the office of a senior prosecutor using a key.
Before this break-in, the prosecutor had suspicions of unregulated entries in her office, when she was not around. She then installed a camera and linked it to her phone for security purposes this is according to Henry Mamothame from the NPA.
“On the day of the incident, she went to her office to collect her gown, and when she entered her office she realised that the camera was unplugged. When she got to where she was travelling to on the same day, she checked the recorded footage on the camera and saw Motsumi going through her drawers and documents.”
“He proceeded to take coffee and sugar and later realised that the camera was recording him. He quickly turned it off and left the office. Officials at the court building have complained about their items going missing in their office but these incidents are not yet linked to Motsumi.”
The case was postponed to September 12th, 2023.
