After the shipment of her victim effect declaration was delayed in a previous court sitting, media magnate Basetsana Kumalo did not keep back when she asked the court to think about direct jail time when it sentences founded guilty author and self-proclaimed social activist Jackie Phamotse later on this month.
Kumalo stated this when she and partner Romeo appeared in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, with Phamotse in the dock. They are anticipated back in court on Tuesday 26 March, when senior district attorney Yusuf Baba and the defence’s Mpho Mathonsi will provide their closing arguments, and Phamotse will be sentenced.
“I do think that if the implicated is not sentenced to direct jail time, she will continue with her criminal activities versus me and my household,” the previousProminence manufacturer stated, as she provided her victim effect declaration.
