AfriForum's bid to prosecute National Council of Provinces chairperson Thandi Modise on animal cruelty charges moved a step closer on Friday when a witness agreed to provide a statement in the case.
Chauke, who was Modise's adviser and is now President Cyril Ramaphosa's adviser, did not attend the court proceedings.
AfriForum did not accept the apology but instead applied for a warrant for his arrest. The warrant will stand over until April 29, when the matter continues in court. "AfriForum’s private prosecution unit welcomes this turn in the case, which means that we are now yet another step closer to getting Modise in court," said private prosecution unit investigator Elias Maangwale.
"The private prosecution unit has a very strong case against Modise, and it is one of our main aims to ensure that no person escapes prosecution simply because they are being protected through political alliances," said Maangwale.
