Headman is arrested for setting school alight in pre-election protest

The school was allegedly targeted in a community protest because it had been designated as a voting station for the May 8 general elections.

North West police said 53-year-old Moto Joshua Motlhabane, the headman of Tlhakajeng Section in Kraaipan village, was remanded in custody until May 17, after a brief appearance before the Atamelang Magistrate’s Court this past Friday. Motlhabane's arrest and court appearance stems from a community protest on May 3, during which community members pelted Tlhakajeng Primary School with stones and set it alight.The headman also faces a charge of negligent driving. He allegedly overturned his vehicle while driving away from the school.

Tjo, is he not supposed to be protected from western law as a royal just like Dalinyebo?

Lock him up as an example..or we will see more of this type of behaviour.
