Actor Tumisho Masha has been found not guilty of assaulting his estranged wife Zozibini Mtongana by the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.

The actor issued a statement last week to celebrate his freedom. The case has been running for two years.

“In her judgement, the magistrate said that, in terms of the evidence, the complainant’s statement and the state’s witness did not corroborate each other,” reads Masha’s statement.
