A TWEET away from jail
"The accused is found guilty as charged on counts 1,2,3 and 4". That is the verdict in the criminal proceedings in the matter State vs Katleho Jaqueline Phamotse ("the accused") case number 3/2534/2019 (“Phamotse matter”). The judgment was handed down on 19 September 2023 by the Randburg Magistrate Court.

Conclusion
In the case under discussion, the accused was also found guilty of contempt of court. It would be interesting to see if she is sentenced to 15 months’ imprisonment for contempt of court as was the precedent set in former President Zuma’s case or a different set of rules would apply. It would be even more interesting what the sentence for Criminal Defamation will be. Of course, the ruling may still be appealed. We leave you with this, TWEET at your own peril.
