Question: Why were charges withdrawn againts her?
Cape Town - Charges against Nancy Mashamaite, one of the Civil Aviation Authority officials arrested last year in connection with an alleged pilots licence scam, were withdrawn on Monday.
Mashamaite's attorney, Makatso Mokoena, said his client appeared briefly in the Commercial Crime Court in Pretoria.
He said he still did not know exactly what she had been charged with.
"We made a requisition for a charge sheet in terms of the Constitution, and that was not provided to us. That was six months ago," he said.
One person - Louis Maloma, the pilot who first went to the authorities with a claim that he had bought exam papers for his airline transport pilot licence from a CAA official - has been convicted of fraud.
A number of other pilots and officials, including suspended CAA boss Trevor Abrahams, still face trial.
Mashamaite appeared alone in court on Monday.
