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.
Masha’s wife stated in the affidavit that the Saints and Sinners actor had assaulted her and also damaged her phone in June 2016. The case was dropped in November 2016 but it was later reinstated in October 2017.
Tumisho said his wife had rejected his offer after he suggested that he will replace the damaged phone. Instead, the wife demanded money.
“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.
