Trumped up charges brought against naked protestor Gugu Ncube - advocate
Pretoria - Defence advocate for naked protestor Gugu Ncube alleges the charges brought against his client are nothing more than a delaying tactic to shift focus on the real issue.
Netshiavha, of Nefuri Attorneys Inc, said his client was being charged with public indecency, which did not according to him qualify with the act. "Because University institutions have the financial muscle to continue to drag the matter out until the complainant runs out of funds.”“From our point of view, these are charges that a meant to distract the victim who was a victim of sexual abuse.”
He described the manner in which she was handled as an extreme use of violence against an unarmed woman, who didn’t even have a weapon or stone in her hand.
