Multi-award winning musician Sjava can now breathe a huge a sigh of relief as he will no longer be prosecuted for rape.
His ex-girlfriend Lady Zamar had opened a rape case against him in 2019 at a local police station, which was then handed over to the National Prosecuting Authority.
Sjava reiterated countless times that the rape accusations are false. According to Lady Zamar’s statement done in a similar manner, she accused Sjava of raping her at a hotel in Thohoyondou, Limpopo.
Sowetan Live had gotten a hold of Limpopo police spokesperson Col Moatshe Ngoepe, who confirmed that the case against Sjava was declined for prosecution on November 5.”Last year the case docket was handed over to the senior public prosecutor for a decision. On November 5, the case docket was withdrawn by the director of public prosecutions at court,” he told the publication.
The NPA spokesperson Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi told Sowetan Live that there was no concrete evidence to arrest Sjava and charge him of rape.
Sjava said at the time that he is against rape and women abuse or abuse of all forms, it baffles him that he would be categorized under those men who are abusers because he speaks about it a lot through his music.
