Anti-drug activist ‘Mr Moloto’ back in court
Moloto runs a rehabilitation centre in Polokwane, called Limpopo Anti-Drugs, Gangsterism and Crime.
Businessman and anti-drug crusader Philimon Moloto, affectionately known as 'Mr Moloto' on social media, is set to return to the Polokwane Magistrates’ Court. He faces charges of malicious damage to property after allegedly setting two fires in Polokwane, Limpopo province. Moloto, who oversees a drug rehabilitation center named Limpopo Anti-Drugs, Gangsterism and Crime, was first arrested in July.
Charges stem from two arson incidents; one targeting a rehabilitation signboard in Ladanna and the other involving a vehicle belonging to a former partner in Seshego. The latter blaze spread to a nearby home where several family members were resting. No injuries were reported. Moloto was granted R50,000 bail upon his initial court appearance, but the case was delayed to allow police to advance their investigations.
