The National Prosecuting Authority on Thursday said it had received submissions from Shivambu on why the matter should be thrown out of court. “Nyiko Floyd Shivambu submitted representations to the NPA‚ which have been denied. His case has been postponed to February 11 2021 for trial‚” the NPA said. The alleged assault happened at the parliamentary precinct and was caught on camera. On the receiving end of Shivambu's wrath was Media24 photographer Adrian de Kock.
