Harare, Zimbabwe – In a dramatic turn of events, controversial socialite and dancehall sensation Millicent Tsitsi Chimonyo, popularly known as Malloti, is still expected to appear in court today to face cyberbullying allegations, despite the complainant, Prophet Passion Java, having reportedly withdrawn the charges.
The situation has created a complex legal scenario, as police are reportedly insisting that the withdrawal must be formally processed through the court system. This means Malloti, who is heavily pregnant and has been in custody for two nights, must still face a magistrate.
Charges Withdrawn, But Court Appearance Looms
The latest development reveals that Prophet Passion Java has opted to withdraw the cyberbullying complaint he filed against Malloti. According to sources, the prophet asked to send a withdrawal affidavit to formalize his decision. However, this did not secure her immediate release.Police officials have reportedly insisted that due to the nature of the case and the fact that it had been officially processed, the matter must be withdrawn in court. The court will now have the final say, deciding whether to formally withdraw the charges based on the complainant's request or to consider other options, such as releasing Malloti on bail pending further proceedings.
