The move was welcomed by the party in Greater Johannesburg region. But the National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane could not immediately confirm this. The ANC in Johannesburg said on Wednesday Kenneth Mgaga, 36, who was arrested and charged with rape in December will resume his functions as a councilor after charges against him were provisionally withdrawn. The party said the provisional withdrawal was "due to the state not being able to present a case that could stand the scrutiny of the a court of law".
