 Two men appeared before Letlhakane magistrate court on Tuesday on charges related to  cybercrime.

According to the station commander of Letlhakane Police Station,  Senior Superintendent Sarah Gabathuse, a 41--year-old man residing in Letlhakane falsely published a picture on facebook, claiming that what was depicted took place in Letlhakane.

In another case, a 28-year-old man also residing in Letlhakane, used audio on social media alleging that there was a certain employee of Lazenby Company contracted at Lucara Botswana in quarantine.

Senior Superintendent Gabathuse called  on the public to stop publishing stories that may cause harm to other members of society.
