Following his arrest last Thursday and his appearance in the Hillbrow Magistrates court on Monday, 04 December 2017, the assault charges levelled against Ndaba were provisionally withdrawn earlier today.
Speaking to Tshisa Live, Ndaba’s lawyer said “the charges against Mthokozisi have been withdrawn provisionally and it is unlikely that they will come back and prosecute we are confident that if the state had prospects of proceeding they would have done so today.”
UPDATE:
According to reports and statements from NPA spokesperson Phindile Louw, there were outstanding statements that the police needed to obtain and that is what was delaying the NPA’s decision on whether or not to continue with the case against Ndaba. Once they have said statements in their position, they can decided whether the case is worth pursuing or not.
