The drug case against former Kaizer Chiefs striker Mike “Sporo” Mangena and his three co-accused has been struck off the roll in the Randfontein magistrate’s court.

SowetanLIVE has established that Mangena’s case was removed from the court roll on September 3 after it had been postponed many times and the state was still not ready to begin with trial.Mangena was arrested in November last year after police raided his farm in Hillside, Randfontein, where they found a drug-manufacturing plant.

The drug-manufacturing barn was situated on the farm which also had chickens, goats, cattle and ducks. Inside the barn police said they found chemicals used to produce mandrax. Mangena was arrested with three men who were found on the farm. These were Morena Maqoaelane, William Kazipata and Kennedy Tsogolane. Mangena has been out on R50,000 bail while his co-accused remained in custody as they did not have proper documentation for being in the country.

In his bail application, Mangena confirmed that the property in question belonged to him but said he had no dealings with what was happening on the farm. He told the court, through his lawyers, that he leased the property to a third party and was not aware of activities taking place on his farm.

Do u guys have proof that this was black magic?

What really happened

A detective who chose to arrest than take bribes live to regret when things like these happen in court.

Ke tshaba nnyoko

Caught in the act n escaped from the act

So drug manufacturing machinery was found at the farm and the police couldn’t get the guys to talk and reveal who makes millions destroying our next generation Also nothing was said about deporting the guys who don’t have proper documentation to be in the country ...

Listen to this

RonaldLamola CyrilRamaphosa What does this mean? I just learned that cases get struck off the roll, only when the party that initiated the proceedings was not present. In this case, the state wasn’t ready. What consequences are the people in charge of this case, going to face?

'Iyeza liyasebenza'

Did he played for Chiefs only?

Does this mean he can sue gor wrongful arrest? Maar our police and investigators are useless.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Power of Muthi. The Muthi worked. No trial after the evidence was gathered in the premises. I respect ✊ the power of African Magic 😂

Drugs & anc are going to bury you South Africans. And leave you feel like you were never been born. They're going to make your existence worthless.
