ICYMI: The Estcourt Magistrate Court in Kwazulu-Natal has dismissed COVID19 related charges against former Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans’ Association spokesperson Carl Niehaus.

by convening an illegal gathering outside the Estcourt prison shortly after former president Jacob Zuma was sent to jail for contempt of a Constitutional Court order.

The sentence followed Zuma’s failure to adhere to the Concourt’s ruling that he continue appearing before the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture.The defence, however, said Niehaus was there to visit Zuma in prison. NPA Spokesperson Natasha Ramkisson-Kara says, “The matter against Carl Niehaus appeared today in the Estcourt Magistrate Court. The reason for the appearance was for the court’s ruling on his application, which is a 174 discharge. The court ruled in Niehaus’ favour.”
