Ngocobo made her first appearance in the Cape Town Magistrates’ Court on Monday morning, applying for legal aid and informing her lawyer that she would like to be placed in the Table View Police Station so that she could fetch her cellphone from home.
According to Ngcobo, the device contains evidence in the form of chats that could prove the allegations are false.
The court decided that the investigating officer would receive it from the accused’s sister.
