Norma Mngoma says she feels vindicated after the High Court found that she had been unlawfully arrested by the Hawks last year.
Mngoma was charged with assault and malicious damage to property for allegedly trashing a R3-million Mercedes-Benz during a dispute with her husband.
Her lawyer, advocate Dali Mpofu, SC, called for the withdrawal of the charges.
Mngoma began using her maiden name shortly after her arrest, however it is not clear whether the couple has officially separated or divorced.
Norma Mngoma was emotional as she left the Pretoria Central Magistrate s Court on Friday and said she felt vindicated by a Gauteng High Court ruling that found her arrest by the Hawks unlawful.
