The Court of Appeal has handed down the judgment that disqualifies Chief Justice Sakoane Sakoane from presiding over one treason case.

The Court of Appeal’s President Prof Kananelo Mosito said, the apex court had also reversed Chief Justice Sakoane’s decision to suspend the lead prosecutor Advocate Shaun Abrahams from prosecuting this treason trial. This move paves a way for the re-instatement of the South African former director of public prosecutions, Adv. Abrahams to take charge of the case.

Adv. Abrahams will resume prosecuting the treason trial in which the accused are former Lesotho Defense Force cmander Lieutenant General Tlali Kamoli, Litekano Nyakane, Motloheloa Ntsane and Leutsoa Motsielo, Minister of Development Planning Hon. Selibe Mochoborane and former Deputy Prime Minster Hon. Mothetjoa Metsing
