Charges have been
provisionally withdrawn in the High Court in Johannesburg today against a
grandson of former president Nelson Mandela, for allegedly raping a 15-year-old
girl last year.
It is believed that the man
was granted R7 000 bail in August after spending over a week in jail.
He allegedly raped the
teenager on August 7 last year at a restaurant in Greenside, Johannesburg.
In her affidavit, the victim
claimed he had forcefully kissed her, put his hands in her pants and raped her.
The 24-year-old disputed this,
claiming in his affidavit the sex was consensual and that he had no idea she
was under age.
He claimed the pub where they
had met did not allow entry to people under the age of 21.
