Johannesburg – Kempton Park model agency boss, Dawie De Villiers, who faces various charges including rape, sexual assault, sexual grooming, possession of child pornography, and theft, will have to wait two weeks to know his fate.

Judgement proceedings were postponed at the Johannesburg High Court on Thursday due to Judge Cassim Moosa being ill.

On Wednesday, Judge Moosa read through a total of 27 testimonies from witnesses who had testified against the founder of Modelling South Africa (PTY), who faces a litany of charges dating back to 2010.

Moosa read into the court record the testimonies of a 22-year-old woman who was allegedly raped by De Villiers when she was 15, a woman who was touched and sent inappropriate messages, and the testimony of a woman who was allegedly defrauded of R50 000.

During the trial, De Villiers denied all the allegations and maintained that his accusers were conspiring against him. 

Continuation of judgement was postponed to February 8.
