Among those who attended the court proceedings was Limpopo’s MEC for community safety, Dickson Masemola.
“We were made aware of allegations that Phasha’s wife had reported the abuse and death threats from her husband to the Mecklenburg police, and they did not help.
“The allegations will be investigated and necessary steps will be taken against those found to be in the wrong,” Masemola warned.
