The charges against one of the men arrested in connection with the murder of Thoriso Themane have been dropped in the Polokwane Magistrates Court on Monday.
His attack was caught on camera and the video was widely spread on social media, leading to an outcry and calls for his attackers to be brought to book. However, Chuene Maleka and Alfred Mothapo, who appeared alongside Chanbangu, had their bail applications heard by Magistrate Maharaj Prakash.Their defence lawyer John Mokgotho argued that the accused were not a flight risk and had demonstrated the willingness to stand trial.
Investigating officer Lieutenant-Colonel Ngwako Raophala gave evidence which showed that the accused had cooperated with the police from the beginning of the investigations.
