Moroadi Cholota, the former personal assistant to Ace Magashule, the ex-premier of the Free State, appeared in the High Court in Bloemfontein this morning.
Cholota (37) is one of the accused in the R 225M corruption saga, facing four counts of fraud and five of corruption. The accused is seeking to have the charges against her dropped and her arrest declared unlawful, after being jailed for four months in the United States in April 2024.
 The High Court delivered its judgment, dismissing Cholota’s application with costs. She is currently out on bail of R2,500, which was granted in August 2024.
Her co-accused include the former premier Ace Magashule, South African businessman Edwin Sodi, former Mangaung mayor Olly Mlamleli, and 8 other individuals as well as companies.
Cholota continuously tries to get the chargers against her dropped, with no luck.
