Rape charges against ANC MP Sikhumbuzo Eric Kholwane were withdrawn in the Wynberg Magistrate's Court, the SABC reported on Tuesday.

"The charges have been withdrawn because the prosecution, after consultation with the NPA, came to a conclusion that they have no case against me," Kholwane told the national broadcaster.

He said he felt vindicated.

Kholwane, who is the chairman of Parliament's communications portfolio committee, was accused of raping a 26-year-old woman in his Grassy Park home in Cape Town.
