Pride #legalaidsa morning. Does Legal Aid accept paralegals who have studied HR and employee relations? Today, it`s #casetalkTuesday! We applaud the local office of Legal Aid SA Vryburg and a case handled by trainee lawyer Kamogelo Thaisi.

Our client was charged with theft from a motor vehicle and possession of car breakdown equipment. It was alleged that the accused and another person stole a spare tire from an unmarked police vehicle. Our client was arrested as he drove past the police station with his spare wheel. The other person could not be found and the defendant was alone in court. Apparently, the other person had admitted to stealing the spare tire. Kamogelo challenged the constitutionality of the arrest, in particular the fact that the accused had not been given an opportunity to explain himself and that his rights had not been explained. Kamogelo also downplayed the witness` identification that the wheel came from the police vehicle. Our client was found not guilty.

It`s really unfair that most of our dates have changed and new tenders have been launched, but we can`t reapply or even change because you can only apply once. I applied years ago, but I cannot reapply for new appeals because I do not allow it. So, I`m basically out of the question to apply again.
