Bafana Bafana midfielder Steven Pienaar jetted in to SA this week to face charges of assault, only for the case to be postponed because the police are yet to complete their investigation.

Pienaar stands accused of assaulting Thabang Mnisi, the son of Deputy Minister of Public Service and Administration Ayanda Dlodlo, at a popular Sandton nightclub, Icon, last month.

According to Mnisi’s statement, Pienaar had been part of a group of friends who kicked and punched him in the head.
