The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) later dropped the charges of common assault, stating that the prosecution could not be successful because of a lack of prospects. In an interview with Star back in June 2019, Phindi Mjonondwane had the following to say, “From what I was told, the story was that he was the one who had assaulted someone, but the video showed the opposite. It showed that he was the one who was, in fact, being beaten by some women.”
Mosidi Motsau, the woman who claims to have been assaulted by Nkosi, disagreed with the NPA’s decision to let him free and vowed to fight for justice.
