Orlando Pirates midfielder Ben Motshwari is a free man for now after the case against him has been struck off the roll due to insufficient evidence.
Motshwari appeared in Randfontein court after he was arrested this morning.
This website broke the story on Sunday that Motshwari has been playing hide and seek with police officers. But He was expected to be handing himself yesterday or this morning so that he can be charged and appear in Randfontein court.
Fullview had in good authority that Motshwari was demanding the car that he gave to the girlfriend and domestic violence ensued.
Motshwari becomes the second Pirates star to be suspended to allow police investigation and charges against them to proceed.
Last year, Thembinkosi Lorch was charged for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, Nokuphiwa Mathithibala.
He was released after a settlement of R2000 bail before the charges were dropped in January 2021.
Motshwari was part of the team that took on and defeated Chippa United 3-1 in a league encounter on Saturday after he was introduced in the 81st minute.
Pirates earlier have confirmed they have suspended Motshwari after he was charged by the police on Monday.
