Meanwhile, some people are furious at Thuli for dropping the charges. Popular YouTuber Penuel Mlotshwa bashed the actress for wasting state resources.

"Apparently, Thuli Phongolo appeared in court and withdrew the charges of assault against DJ Maphorisa. The law, in my legally-ignorant opinion, will need to punish her for the resources, time and energy "wasted" by the state to arrest, detain and deal with this matter."

@BreezyIKE1 said:

"But it was pretty obvious that he will be granted bail. We are not surprised."
