Cholota Loses Bid To Have Arrest Declared Unlawful

The Free State High Court has dismissed with costs former Premier Ace Magashules personal assistant Moroadi Cholotas application to have her arrest declared unlawful and unconstitutional.

She sought to have her fraud and corruption charges withdrawn.

The 37-year-old is facing charges relating to the R255 million asbestos roof removal contract scandal.

The application was heard in the high court in November last year.

Cholota was arrested in the United States earlier last year and extradited to South Africa in August.
