Explaining the decision to withdraw the charges, the Mpumalanga Director of Public Prosecutions, advocate Nkebe Kanyane, said: “The decision follows a thorough assessment of all available evidence and after consultations with the complainant who expressly did not wish to proceed with the case despite being offered all the necessary support available to complainants in cases of this nature.”
