It's a good thing that the charges have been dropped.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to finally see that they are being let go.
ReplyDeletePoor girl Zenani, it is good to hear that there have been a drop out of charges against them.
ReplyDeleteFinally. At least now the student will not have criminal record and that is the best relief ever
ReplyDeleteEven though the charges were dropped, the students suffered trauma from jail.
ReplyDeleteBut still it will take about 5 years to clear the criminal record. So they won't be studying for all these years.
ReplyDeleteAt least the charges have been dropped. The students will be able to study but it might take time to clear the criminal record.
