Magistrates Ntokozo Myeni has moved the Wololo hitmaker's trial to 21 February 2025 for further evidence after her attorney Thula Mlondo dismissed the prosecutor's key evidence of a video footage which showed the alleged incident that happened last year.

Mlondo questioned the prosecutor on how they obtained the clip. The victim Philly took the witness stand and described what transpired on the day of the attack at her business place.

Previously Philly explained how the incident happened and how Babes Wodumo got herself involved in the squabble:

"The dancers came to the shop on 28 February because they wanted to go to a gig. They didn’t have enough money to purchase the clothes. I insisted that they pay for the hired clothes. I wasn’t willing to give them anything without payment.

"The arrangement was for them to return the clothes the following day, but they only brought them back on 12 March, and the clothes were in poor condition. When they arrived, they were accompanied by Babes, her bodyguard, and her father. They appeared intoxicated, and Babes assaulted me."
