In a ruling delivered yesterday at the Midrand Magistrate’s Court, Cici was found not guilty. This is of assault charges that had been laid against her.
The charges came about when her ex-boyfriend, Arthur Mafokate, laid counter charges against Cici. He alleged that she hit him with a coat hanger and a steel chair, and bit his arms during a scuffle.
“We are happy that the court finally found that she was not guilty for the charges which were fabricated …,” the singer’s lawyer William Sekgatja said outside court.
Cici’s victory is termed a victory to all victims of abuse.
Themba Masango secretary general of #NotInMyName movement had this to say on the matter: “We obviously feel vindicated that Cici has been found not guilty. Arthur Mafokate was clearly lying in regards to what happened on the day.”
