While Cici may have won the assault case brought against her by Arthur Mafokate, her case against the music mogul is still pending owing to multiple delays in the judicial process.
Singer Busisiwe ‘Cici’ Thwala has released a music video that sends a strong message to abusers. But she's not losing heart that she'll get her closure. Even if the closure doesn't come from the case.
"I'm already singing a new song because I decided not to live my life according to what is happening in court. I live for now and I've decided that whatever happens will happen. I can't let that experience take away from the life I'm supposed to live as a human being because it isn't my whole life. It is just a portion. One specific event, a grain of sand on the beach of my life," Cici said.
Cici laid charges of assault against Arthur mid-2017 and Arthur soon followed with a counter-charge, which Cici was found not guilty of in July 2018. The trial against Arthur was recently postponed due to recording machines in the court being out of order in March. "I think for me. I don't know, it has just dawned that it had to be me. I had to share my story for me. It's not about revenge, it really all about principle.
