A heavily pregnant Gogo Maweni made a brief appearance at the Protea magistrate's court in Soweto on Thursday.
Gogo Maweni, whose real name is Makhotso Lee-Anne Mofokeng, faces a charge of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm for an alleged incident on December 18 2019.
Her legal team presented medical documents proving that the reality TV star and sangoma, who is pregnant with twins, has recently been in and out of hospital as she has been experiencing a problematic pregnancy.
The case has been postponed to October 15 to allow Gogo Maweni to give birth and recover after her pregnancy as the doctor instructed her to rest and not travel.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Gogo Maweni said she was relieved to continue her pregnancy in private.
“I feel great because, honestly, I wanted to keep the pregnancy a secret but unfortunately I got arrested and it came out that I was pregnant. I wasn't going to tell anyone until the babies were born and I know people were going to end up thinking that it's a surrogacy and whatever, which is fine. But at least now I can continue and make sure they come to this beautiful earth healthy, so I'm very grateful.”
