Francistown — Notorious Gudigwa settlement criminal and arson bandit, Steven Nyamanyama, is in court again. This time he is in the dock for rape and he has not pleaded guilty to the charge.
A statement of offence revealed that on September 24 last year at around 2200hrs at Gudigwa settlement, north of Maun and close to the Namibian border, 19-year-old Nyamanyama raped a woman. Police Investigations, according to Prosecutor Nkaelang Lekgoa, are complete and the state representative has requested court to set a trial date.
Late last year, Maun Magistrates court threw delinquent Nyamanyama in jail for 18-months after finding him guilty of breaking into the Gudigwa tribal administration offices and setting criminal record books on fire. He was erasing evidence of the many pending cases that he has, amongst them stock theft and common assaults.
