A 27-year-old man’s problematic sweet tooth has landed him in deep trouble as he was ordered to spend five days in police cells awaiting trial for allegedly stealing chocolates.
Tsholofelo Clifford appeared before Gaborone West Customary Court on Wednesday morning to answer for his petty crime. According to the charge sheet, the accused on March 7th allegedly stole three cadbury chocolates each worth P13.95 from G-West Phase 1 Spar.
Clifford was apparently caught red handed by security officers as he was making his way out of the establishment.
He however pleaded not guilty to the charge as it was read out to him. Consequently, Kgosi Arnold Somolekae who was presiding over the case postponed it to March 27th to afford the accused a chance to prepare to argue his case.
Interestingly, Clifford who insisted that he was not guilty will remain in Police Custody until the next set trial date.
While the court was bemused by this, Clifford wore a cheeky smile that communicated very little about his emotions at the time.
Commonly known as DJ Shoono, the accused is said to be a well known upcoming Gaborone based DJ who often plays at one of the hotels in Gaborone, Block 5.
