Perfect Ndlovu (36) was hauled before Francistown Magistrates
Court on Tuesday on charges of threatening to kill his wife. He was remanded in
custody to July 14 for continuation of trial.
Ndlovu pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The court was told that on May 8 while at Mhakamme ward at
Tonota, Ndlovu speaking in fluent Setswana, threatened his former girlfriend
Gabotwaelwe Ithuteng.
“I will kill you and jump to Zimbabwe,” the State alleged
Ndlovu said.
It is the State case that after the remarks, Ndlovu went
into hiding, and the police tracked him down after Ithuteng made a police
report.
Following his arrest, he was charged with threatening-to-kill
and it was also discovered that he was in Botswana illegally. He now faces
another charge of illegal entry into Botswana.
In opposing bail, investigating officer, Oscar Molome told
court: “We are yet to collect the statements from the witnesses and the accused
person is an illegal immigrant who when given bail might go back to his
country.” Newsday
