Cici refuses mediation with Arthur Mafokate

Busisiwe Twala, popularly known as Cici, has reportedly refused to mediate with Arthur Mafokate following his first appearance in the Midrand Magistrates’ Court on Friday on charges of common assault.

Cici’s spokesperson, Themba Masango, told TimesLive after the court appearance: “This guy here is a criminal, and then he expects that he is going to be treated like a celebrity in here. That’s not going to happen, and Not In My Name is going to make sure that we stand with Cici and all women in South Africa who have been abused.”

“Cici is not going for mediation at all. This guy must face the full might of the law. We are calling on authorities to act without fear. They must be direct. They must make an example out of this one because he is a so-called high-profile celebrity.”

The case has been postponed to September 20 at Mafokate’s request for further investigation and possible mediation between him and Cici, which was granted by the judge.
