Orlando Pirates star attacker Thembinkosi Lorch is found guilty for assaulting his ex-girlfriend Fundiswa Mathithibala.
After nearly three years, the judgment in the matter was handed down today in the Randburg Magistrate Court.
The case was opened back in September 2020 at the Midrand Police Station by the victim, Mathithibala.
The incident happened when the then Lorch’s girlfriend Mathithibala went to visit him in his home in Midrand.
But the Pirates star decided to go out partying with his friends instead of staying with his girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Lorch just comes out of a successful season with the Buccaneers.
