The Extension II Magistrate Court yesterday postponed to next week the matter in which rapper Atlasaone Molemogi, popularly known as ATI and his two co-accused Baboloki Phaga and Godiraone Motswedi are facing charges of kidnapping.

The ruling was initially set for yesterday but was postponed because the presiding magistrate was absent. The court is set to decide whether it will dismiss the charges or proceed with the prosecution against the “O Tsididi” hit maker. Molemogi’s lawyer Kgosietsile Ngakayagae previously submitted that the state had breached the court order by serving them with the summary of evidence on a date later than the one set by court. 

He said in doing so, the state was not only contemptuous of the court order but they also had a shorter period to review the evidence.
