Reply	We have utterly incompetent translators who make a mockery of the justice system. You just pick your niece and ask her to be a translator. No training. Some of these cases get to the court of appeal and they are overturned just coz of translation. If you can’t even speak a word of english, how on earth!!?? In the 80s there was a divorce case where a man told the judge (a white chap) hore mosali o hana ka likobo. Translation? She is refusing with blankets. What the!!!!

Reply	A fabricated story! Nothing near the truth hence the translator’s struggle.

Reply	@ mzini, I dont find anything wrong on this story such that you have to put blame at the translator. By the way, s/he is an interpreter anot translator! there is a difference here. While at the same time you may be right about the incompetency of the interpreters, please note that court of appeal does not ‘overturn’ cases, but it may reverse the decisions by the high court.
now to the story…. it lacks credibility and plausibility: he sees the wife alight, hoots, follows her to the gate, calls her, moments later (dont know how long is a moment!) finds her in that situation.
And the defence of self-defence (mzini, that’s how lawyers say it)!!!! misplaced!!!! provocation would certainly be supported by the facts!!!!!
