POPULAR comedian Tumi “Stopnonsons” Matila back will be appearing in the Randburg Magistrates Court on Wednesday, 8 May.
The 32-year-old Joburg-based comedian last appeared on Wednesday, 3 April. The matter was postponed for mediation between the complaint and the accused.
The TV host is facing two counts of assault and one of pointing an object resembling a firearm.
During the court proceedings, Magistrate Louise Etchell postponed the matter to Wednesday, 8 May, due to absenteeism from the two complainants.

State prosecutor Miss Chiloane said the state requested a postponement as the complainants were not in court even after being asked to be in.
She said they would ask the investigating officer to check their whereabouts.
The magistrate said the comedian must be on time and still honour his bail conditions for his next appearance.
She said failure to do so would result in his arrest and his bail conditions revoked.
The comedian allegedly assaulted his girlfriend, Thando Ngemane, and her friend, Tsholofelo Kgosimotho, after a fall-out.
The comedian was arrested and detained at the Honeydew Police Station on Tuesday, 7 August 2023 and was released on R2 000 bail.
