Ghanzi Senior Magistrate, Mpho Molema has ordered that  two men, Keduetswe Dithole (40) and Tsholofelo Segakalo (28), who are facing charges of assault and causing bodily harm, to be remanded in custody pending completion of police investigations.

In a separate incident, at Morama ward, Segakalo unlawfully wounded Dingalo Tshabu by stabbing him with a knife, resulting in injuries to his chest and right arm.
 
In his submission, state prosecutor, Sub Inspector, Shathiso Ngebani pleaded with the court to remand the duo in custody since police investigations were ongoing. 
 
However, Dithole pleaded with the court to release him because there was no one to look after his children  since their mother was the one admitted at the hospital.
 
On another matter, Kabelo Molaodi (23) was released on a conditional bail following an incident on July 13 at Khurakhura ward in Ghanzi where he assaulted Botshelo Madumane causing him to sustain injuries on his left ear.
