WOZA leaders Jennifer Williams and Magodonga Mahlangu appeared for the third day in Magistrates Tredgold Regional Court A on trial facing Kidnapping and Theft charges.

The 3rd and final state witness, Thabi Ndlovu, was cross examined and as with all the other witnesses, disputed the content of her statement penned by police investigating Officer George Levison Ngwenya. In her evidence she was unwilling to confirm seeing any searching, contradicting the other witness, her landlord Bokani Nleya who had said Williams and another had conducted an illegal search.

After the cross examination, the state closed its case. Defence lawyer Kossam Ncube then requested a postponement to 3 January 2012 and put the court on notice of his intention apply for discharge of the accused Jennifer Williams and Magodonga Mahlangu. State prosecutor Mr Goodwill Katenaire confirmed that he would respond verbally to the application on 3 January 2012. Once the application is made and argued, the Magistrate, Mr. Goodluck Sangweni will have to make a ruling.
