Johannesburg – A well-known actor arrived at the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court on Monday to face an assault charge.

The actor spoke to a comedian friend outside the courtroom, while waiting to appear.

The well-known actor was arrested on Saturday for allegedly slapping his girlfriend during an argument, said Lieutenant-Colonel Katlego Mogale.

He would not name the actor as he had not yet appeared in court. – Sapa
