A bench warrant was issued against her.

At the time, National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Phindi Mjonodwane said: “A bench warrant means a warrant of arrest has been issued but in this matter, it has been held over till 4th October due to the fact that the summons were not served to Ms Matheba personally. If she fails to appear on the 4th, the warrant will be effective. She is not special and will not receive any special treatment
