Mokgareng “witchcraft” case postponed


By Obakeng Maje
Taung- A case against eight suspects who were arrested during a ‘witchcraft’ fiasco resumed on Monday in Taung Magistrate’s Court.

Eight people appeared before magistrate after they were arrested two months ago.

The suspects were arrested after Vinolia Sesing was beaten and injured during a scuffle against Mokassa 2 villagers.

Sesing was accused of killing and turning Boikie Nthutang,24, into a zombie and that forced the Mokgareng villagers to sent her packing.

She went to seek refugee at Mokassa 2 village, but that angered the locals too.

They allegedly attacked her and her family. They also threatened to burn her alive.

Sesing’s husband ploughed onto six residents with his car in an attempt to escape from enraged residents. Six people were injured and taken to local hospital for medical attention.

Police said the eight suspects are facing attempted murder, assault and malicious damage to property.

They were released on R300 bail each and the case will resume on 02 December 2014.

Police investigations continue.-TDN
