'I need this case behind me'- Gugu Khathi disappointed over postponed case

Gugu Khathi said she needed to move on with her life after her four-year-long court case was postponed.

She updated her followers on the case where she was accused of assault by her neighbour Cindy O’Neal.

Taking to her Instagram timeline the former Mafikizolo dancer turned businesswoman shared a clip expressing her disappointment at the delays, this time due to power cuts.

“Woke up really excited to close this chapter of my life however #load-shedding never loved us,” she captioned the post.

“We've been at it for sometime now, I'm starting the fifth year as its Jan now 2023. Case is postponed and today we were just supposed to hear judgment against Ms Cinthia O'Neil. Guys this load-shedding thing , can you meet us half way. I can't, I need results, I need this case behind me. I need to clear my name and I need to move on with my life. 

Her followers had sympathy for her.

“But Gugu you can settle this out side of court. Just please send some one brave to ask for forgiveness. There's no doubt that this woman is also guilty. I hope she wasn't drunk when you guys fought cause of the bruises! Was she tested for alcohol??,” wrote one follower. 

“I remember the story and I thought it was long resolved,” another added. 

Sowetan reported Gugu and her then 50-year-old neighbour Cindy opened cases of assault against one another at Honeydew police station.

The drama occurred almost four years ago at the upmarket Willowbrook Estate in Ruimsig where the Khathis were living. 

Benjamin O'Neal, Cindy's husband, told the publication the incident began when Gugu's son drove into their complex “in high speed”, shortly after which Gugu came to their house and gave them a “warning” with things going south from there.
