At a media briefing two weeks ago, Nel said Mojapelo alleged that Mhlakaza-Manamela severely assaulted her in a drunken fit of rage.
"She further stated that her police superiors did not want to help her open a case, but instead did everything in their power to frustrate those efforts," Nel said.Nel said senior prosecutors allegedly told Mojapelo the matter would be difficult to prosecute because it involved a"very high-profile person".According to Nel, a medical examination confirmed that Mojapela had sustained multiple injuries and that she was 11 weeks pregnant at the time.
"I am very happy with the decision from the NPA; it is just unfortunate that AfriForum had to get involved first. The NPA had better serve my daughter and me with justice, that is all we need," Mojapelo said.The NPA's Isaac Dhludhlu said they would respond once information was received.We live in a world where facts and fiction get blurred
