ANC MP Sibusiso Kula will have to wait almost two weeks to learn whether his application to have the murder charge against him withdrawn is successful.
“The prosecutor, advocate Phuti Sekoadi, opposed the application and argued the matter is still under investigation and the charges are properly drafted, as they are in line with the evidence in the docket. He explained when investigations are completed, the state will decide whether the charges should be amended,” Mamothame said.
Sekoadi urged the court to dismiss the application as it had no bearing on the charges against the accused.Meanwhile, Mamothame said an application submitted to the office of the North West director of public prosecutions for Kula's case to be transferred to a higher court, owing to its serious nature, was still being processed.
