Mandla Mandela, the grandson of the late former president Nelson Mandela, has been convicted on a charge of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily.
However, National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Luxolo Tyali, says Mandla Mandela was acquitted on a charge of pointing a fire-arm.
The charges stem from an incident in Mthatha in October, 2013, when he assaulted a teacher, Mlamli Ngudle, who crashed his car into a car driven a guest of Mandela.
While it was reported that he drew a firearm and pointed it at Ngudle, an Mthatha Magistrate, on Tuesday found him not guilty on the firearm charge.
