Actress Zinhle Mabena had to spend a night in jail but is a free woman now according to Sowetan.
Mabena was arrested for allegedly conspiring to murder her estranged husband Robert Ngwenya.
She was then released after a night in a Centurion, Tshwane jail after the National Prosecuting Authority said that they needed to investigate more before her case could be put on the roll.
Mabena’s lawyer says that this was nothing but a scheme to intimidate her saying
“I act on behalf of Zinhle and confirm that she was unlawfully taken into custody yesterday but [she] is now a free woman after the NPA declined to place the matter on the roll, because of the preposterous nature of the allegations against our client,” Lazarus said.
“We can also confirm that nothing plausible was provided to the authorities to link our client to any crime including but not limited to murder or attempted murder or any conspiracy of sought.
“All these mischievous allegations ironically come from her husband who she has recently filed a divorce against, and against whom our client has obtained an interim protection order.”
If it is all just intimidation it sounds like this could be grounds for a big lawsuit.
