North West police spokesperson, Col Adele Myburgh said Dichaba was arrested for stock theft in Mokassa 2 near Taung on 10 September 2021.   

“A stock theft incident was reported after a cow and three calves were recovered after the trailer that was transporting them overturned. The police were summoned to the scene and arrested Dichaba as she could allegedly not account for them(cows).

However, NPA regional spokesperson, Henry Mamothame said: “The matter was not enrolled on the court roll because there is no prima facie case against the accused for now, but police will conduct further investigations.”
