Kwaito musician Sipho Charles Ndlovu, also known as Brickz, will have to wait until October 20 to hear whether the national director of public prosecutions (NDPP) will proceed with the rape case against him.
Ndlovu is accused of raping a 17-year-old girl at his home in Honeydew, Johannesburg, in March last year. In which the rape was reported in October.
Brickz lawyer states that the case against his client was “weak and filled with holes”, while Brickz plead non guilty.
He was supposed to have heard in the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court on Thursday whether the NDPP would proceed with the case.
But Ndlovu’s lawyer, Dumisani Mabunda, told the court: “We spoke to the chief prosecutor. She’s going to escalate it to the NDPP.”
The judge then postponed the case to October 20, 2014.
Ndlovu sat on a court bench with his head bowed and hands held behind his head while he waited to be called but became calm after his brief appearance.
