Israel-Hamas War: A journalist’s view

Guest: Sipho Hotstixx Mabuse

Thirty-seven years ago, Sipho’s half-a-million-selling smash-hit single “Burn Out” changed the face and shape of Afro-pop and township jive like no other song or artist in pop music history. Today there are few instruments he cannot play. Flute, piano, saxophone, kalimba, alto flute, timbales and African drums all feature at some point in his repertoire, all played with the respect each deserves. He has also recorded and produced many legendary artists, the likes of Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, Ray Phiri and Sibongile Khumalo. As a regular commentator on arts and culture in the country, Sipho has also sat on the boards of Music Exchange , The National Arts Council and SAMRO (South African Musicians Rights Organisation).

#TUESDAYTakeOver: Literature: “Our stories. Our heritage”

WHAT ARE THE LAWS AND PROCEDURES THAT SHOULD BE APPLIED AND CONSIDERED WHEN DROPPING CRIMINAL OR CIVIL CHARGES AGAINST A PERSON? 

Criminal procedures remain complex to those who are faced with the unfornate situation of having to turn to the law to seek justice. 

They can also be cumbersome and expensive which can result in the complaint dropping the case. 

Though the law does have room for one to drop a criminal or civil charge, there are also limitations.
