Penuel says Thuli P should be punished for wasting the court’s time

YouTuber Penuel the Black Pen has shared his views after actress and deejay Thuli Phongolo withdrew assault charges against DJ Maphorisa in court.

DJ MAPHORISA CHARGED FOR ASSAULTING THULI PHONGOLO

Themba Sonnyboy Sekowe popularly known as DJ Maphorisa appeared in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court earlier today on charges of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH).

NPA spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane alleged that on Sunday, 7 May, Maphorisa assaulted his girlfriend Thulisile Phongolo by hitting her with open hands and strangled after she confronted him about an incident that happened the previous night where he was booked to perform. The complainant laid a charge with the Sandton SAPS to which acted promptly and arrested the accused.

The withdrawal of the case by the victim has seen the likes of Penuel discrediting the merits of this case and calling for the justice system to charge her for wasting the state’s resources.

“Apparently Thuli Phongolo appeared in court and withdrew the charges of assault against DJ Maphorisa. The law, in my legally-ignorant opinion, will need to punish her for the resources, time and energy wasted by the state to arrest, detain and deal with this matter,” he weighed in.

ADVICE TO MEN AND WOMEN FROM THE KNOWLEDGEABLE YOUTUBER

Penuel further warned men to walk away from provocative women in their lives.

“Gents, don’t hit women, walk/run away when your woman is provoking you in any way. Ladies, don’t hit men because you won’t handle the retaliation.”
