Cape Town \u2014 The messy case that has dragged for more than two years has finally come to an end.<\/p>\n
The veteran kwaito singer has been not found guilty of assaulting his former girlfriend Busisiwe “Cici” Thwala.<\/p>\n
Mafokate was facing assault charges with intent to cause grievous bodily harm linked to an incident that took place in June 2017 that allegedly caused Cici to undergo a pelvic replacement operation.<\/p>\n
The incident happened at his Midrand home.<\/p>\n
Cici claimed that Mafokate had dragged her on the street. She had to be admitted to a hospital and had to undergo hip surgery following the alleged altercation. Mafokate pleaded not guilty to the charge and laid a counter-assault charge against Cici. But she was found not guilty.<\/p>\n
And since then they have been in and out of court.<\/p>\n
