News24 reports that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has declined to prosecute ANC MP Mduduzi Manana for allegedly abusing his domestic worker.
Gauteng NPA spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane confirmed on Monday that Manana's case would not go ahead as there was no reasonable prospects for a successful prosecution. Manana allegedly tried to push his domestic worker Christine Wiro down a flight of stairs in May. The charges as laid were later withdrawn. An audio clip emerged thereafter of Manana allegedly trying to bribe Wiro with R100,000 to drop the charges. Manana later said he intended laying a complaint against the domestic worker for allegedly trying to "extort" him. The embattled MP will this week face a parliamentary ethics sub-committee inquiry into his conduct. The charges include a separate 2017 incident, when Manana was caught on camera assaulting a woman in a nightclub.
