According to reports one of President Jacob Zuma's bodyguards, who is charged with attempted murder relating to an alleged "blue light" incident in Durban, has been cleared of a contempt of court charge.
The magistrate Muzingaye Dladla had not "wilfully" failed to attend court in November last year, on the day his trial should have begun.
She accepted a written statement from specialist psychiatrist Ashwin Valjee that he had seen Dladla on that day and had found him in "a great deal of physical and emotional pain".
Dladla, a member of the Pretoria-based presidential protection unit, is facing a charge of attempting to murder retired police detective Dirk Matthee by shooting at his vehicle on the southern freeway on June 5 2008.
