Ruling for ATI kidnapping case set

The court will then decide whether to dismiss the charge brought forward by the state or proceed with the prosecution against the famed artist and his accomplices.  The defence team argued before magistrate Joy Brown-Norman that the state breached the court order by serving them with a summary of evidence later than the set date, without even applying for leave or condonation. ATI’s lawyer, Kgosietsile Ngakayagae submitted that in doing so the state was not only contemptuous of the court order, but also gave them a short period of time to review the evidence.
