@Makovnikovs replied:

"We don't care, and next time after he's done beating you up, please don't waste state resources and try to seek public sympathy."

@cindy_sthe also said:

"I wish women could understand how dangerous this move is."

According to EWN, Thuli filed for withdrawal while Maphorisa waited for a bail hearing, and the charges weren't withdrawn immediately. Therefore the bail terms were carried out as planned.
