Regina Letshoo appeared before the Ga-Rankuwa District court yesterday for alleged misconduct in 2020.

The North West National Prosecution Authority spokesperson Henry Mamothame explains that the state is expected to provide Letshoo’s attorney with all the documents before pretrial conferencing.

"The process of finalising the appointment of an outside presiding officer is also underway. This move is appropriate to avoid misconceptions of bias, as Letshoo was a state prosecutor in the cluster where the case will be sitting. The state is ready to proceed with disclosures with Letshoo’s new legal representative, as the previous one was withdrawn.

"She will remain out on a warning and is expected back in court on the set date," he adds.

OFM News previously reported that Letshoo took a docket on a case involving a foreign national who was charged with the possession of suspected stolen property after he was found driving an unregistered vehicle and failing to produce legal documentation. Letshoo allegedly omitted information from the docket to favour the accused.

Her alleged misconduct ultimately resulted in the release of the suspect and the matter struck off the roll. When the docket was ultimately found, following a daily audit of cases that appeared in court, the omissions were noted with her signature, authorising the release of the suspect.

Letshoo has since seized to be in the employ of the National Prosecuting Authority in September 2022, after rendering her resignation while on suspension.
