NPA drops assault charges against actor Kenneth Nkosi | The Star

Johannesburg - Common assault charges against actor Kenneth Nkosi have been dropped by the National Prosecuting Authority. A video which purportedly was supposed to prove that Nkosi allegedly assaulted a woman, showed that the comedian exonerated him from a common assault charge.

Speaking to The Star on Friday afternoon, the NPA's Phindi Mjonondwane, said the prosecution team viewed the video of the alleged assault and came to the conclusion that there would be no prospects of a successful prosecution. The NPA then decided to withdraw charges against Nkosi. “I am not aware of any charges being dropped because I do not plan to drop them. As far as I know, he couldn’t appear in court because of a lack of evidence but the police said they were collecting evidence against him and he is currently out on bail,” she told Drum.

This is why we dropped the case against 'gym masturbator': Virgin ActiveVirgin Active said they had opted for psychological help for the man who allegedly publicly masturbated in their gym instead of pushing for criminal charges. I don't even want to imagine how the situation would've turned out like if the masturbator was a black kid. Were they still going to offer psychological help? But if twas Jabulani it would have been a different approach These 2nd chances & liniencies seem to be afforded more to white offenders, if such was constantly applied to any black offender many would not be languishing in jails some for crimes they did not even commit
