Steve 'Chippa' Lekoelea off the hook

Johannesburg- Charges against former Bafana Bafana midfield maestro, Steve 'Chippa' Lekoelea, were dropped on Thursday, with officials saying there was insufficient evidence.

Steve was arrested on Tuesday after he was found to be driving an alleged stolen vehicle in Orange Farm. He was later charged with fraud and driving a suspected stolen vehicle. (More on that here).

Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Jabu Mahlangu has come out to defend Steve in the face of social media criticism, saying: "People who did not achieved anything in life, they always has something to say about those who've made their name. People stop talking nonsense about others and show us your achievements."
