Drug possession charges against Van Breda dropped

Henri van Breda’s lawyer, Piet Botha, reportedly told TimesLive on Tuesday that the director of public prosecutions had said the drug possession charges against Van Breda were withdrawn, as it was “clear that the dagga was not his”.

Van Breda and his girlfriend, Danielle Janse van Rensburg, appeared in Cape Town Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday following their arrest for being found in possession of dagga in Table View in September last year, the website further reported.
