Pastor sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment for robbery

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) welcomes the 15-year direct imprisonment sentence handed down by the Molopo Regional Court to Petrus Phuthego Gasengake (48), who was convicted of robbery with aggravating circumstances.

- 

The conviction stems from an incident that occurred on 4 April 2021 at the complainant's home in Ramosadi Village near Mmabatho. Gasengake, who is a pastor at a local church, visited the home of a female congregant. At the time, she was in the company of another male church member. Upon arrival, Gasengake bypassed them and proceeded directly to the complainant's bedroom.
