Lekompo artist Tsaka RSA has appeared in court again, this time facing another charge of crimen injuria, with the matter postponed to 23 October 2026 for his anticipated bail application.
The charge comes amid controversy surrounding videos the artist has posted online in which he allegedly swears at and insults various public figures, including KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, President Cyril Ramaphosa and rapper Cassper Nyovest.
Crimen injuria generally refers to the unlawful and intentional impairment of another person’s dignity or privacy. Depending on the circumstances, insulting or swearing at someone may amount to the offence.
However, it has not yet been confirmed whether the latest case against Tsaka RSA stems from his online videos. The identity of the person who opened the case has also not been disclosed in the information available.
Another court appearance awaits
Tsaka RSA is expected to return to court on 23 October 2026 to apply for bail in the latest matter.
He is also due to appear in court on 19 October 2026 for a bail hearing in a separate case involving the alleged possession of an illegal firearm and ammunition.
The two matters are separate, and the allegations in each case must be dealt with through the court process.
Further details about the latest crimen injuria charge, including the complainant’s identity and the specific allegations, are still awaited.
