Johannesburg - The crimen injuria case against Boy
Mamabolo, a former friend of axed ANCYL leader Julius Malema, was provisionally
struck off the roll on Tuesday.
The origin of the offending SMS he allegedly sent to
Malema first had to be confirmed, Limpopo police spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi
said.
"This [the withdrawal of the case] is pending the
results from the local criminal record centre."
It was crucial to determine whether Mamabolo had sent the
message.
Mulaudzi said authorities were "busy with it
now".
Once the results were available the matter would be sent
back to court.
Mamabolo had been due to appear in the Polokwane
Magistrate's Court on charges of crimen injuria and assault, following a spat
with Malema via SMS.
He allegedly sent a threatening text message to Malema
saying he would exhume his mother Mahlodi's body and take her remains to
Malema's grandmother's home in Seshego.
Malema laid charges after receiving the message.
Earlier this week, The Star newspaper reported that the SMS
read: "This time I want to show you that I am more brutal and exhume
Mahlodi from the grave and lay her in front of [your grandmother's house]. You
have done many bad things to me."
