Lawyer says that it is Moroadi Cholota about whether she will sue the state for her illegal extradition of us

Johannesburg -Former Free -State Prime Minister Ace Magashule’s ex -personal assistant (PA), Moroadi Cholota, could still get behind the state after the Bloemfontein High Court its extradition from the United States destroyed (US).

In a judgment on Tuesday at the end of a process-in-in-a-process, the court confirmed a special plea that Cholota was raised about the decision of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to withdraw it to South Africa to experience corruption in the asbestos case.

This means that Cholota will no longer appear as a co-accusation of her former boss Magashule, businessman Edwin Sodi and more than a dozen others.

Speaking at the sidelines of the procedure, the lawyer of Cholota, Piet Tibane, said that they were sure of their case from the start.

“We never changed our position to say that the way the state behaved was illegal.”

While Cholota’s family said they considered a civil case against the state, Tibane said the decision to rest with Cholota.

“We have to consult and take instructions from our client. She is in South Africa, South Africa is her home -we are going to discuss the next step.”
