A warrant of arrest has been issued for Peter Sephuma, popularly known as Miles on the popular TV soapie Rhythm City. This comes after the veteran actor failed to appear in court for an assault he committed several weeks ago against his girlfriend and his sister.<\/p>\n

In March, the former\u00a0Rhythm City actor was arrested after he tried to strangle his wife and sister, and they pressed charges against him. Although the two have since dropped the case, Sephuma was meant to appear in court on the 13th of April and failed to arrive. A warrant for his arrest has now been issued.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe failed to attend court and a warrant was issued for his arrest\u201d, said National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Phindi Louw. Peter reportedly was under the impression that he did not have to appear in court since the case was dropped.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy sister went to withdraw the case and told me everything was fine. I honestly didn\u2019t know I had to go to court for mediation. It\u2019s not and will never be my intention to disregard the court\u201d, he told a local publication.<\/p>\n
