Businessman Mudzinganyama hands himself over, released on warning
Mudzinganyama is expected to appear in court on the 1st of October.
Deputy National Police Commissioner Tebello Mosiliki has confirmed that businessman Lawrence Mudzinganyama turned himself in at the Randburg Police Station in Johannesburg. He has been released on a warning to appear in court on October 1st, 2026. Mudzinganyama faces an intimidation charge following a video of him threatening women during an altercation at a Sandton restaurant that went viral.
Mosiliki stated that investigations are ongoing and that releasing the video does not substitute the legal process. The police are actively gathering evidence and collecting statements for further investigation. Once the investigation is completed, the case file will be submitted to court for further action. The matter is being led by prosecutors, and discussions took place with them today.
