Brickz, the notorious kwaito musician, is thought to have been released from prison after serving less than four years of his 15-year sentence for drug addiction. This follows the artist’s arrest when images of him, whose real name is Sipho Charles Ndlovu, went popular on social media.

 

 
Brickz looks to be in a studio for the South African Broadcasting Corporation in this shot (SABC). He is dressed more casually when posing for the shot. Brickz’s parole status has not been confirmed, and the South African Correctional Services has not divulged the terms and circumstances of his release.

As of this writing, he has barely completed one-third of his sentence. Female advocacy groups and campaigners are unlikely to be thrilled with the decision granting parole to the artist. Brickz raped a 16-year-old relative in 2013, and he was sentenced to 15 years in prison as a result. He was found guilty of the crime in 2013. The offense occurred in 2013.

Despite Brickz’s protestations to the contrary, he was found guilty and sentenced to prison. He added during his evidence that the artist exhibited no remorse for his actions and that the court had a responsibility to protect women’s rights as part of the artist’s sentencing. He was granted bail by the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court in April 2018 after paying the court R80 000 in cash. He was still awaiting the outcome of his appeal against his conviction for r@pe.

After losing his August 2018 appeal, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) ordered him to return to prison to spend the remainder of his 15-year term.
