GENERATIONS actress Maggie Benedict, who played Akhona in the SABC1 soapie, who was bust yesterday for allegedly shoplifting at Checkers will be back at court on 28 January 2014 after she appeared briefly in the Randburg Magistrates' court today.
The shoplifting case against former Generations actress Maggie Benedict was heard today.
Akhona was released on a warning last night after spending a few hours in the Linden Police Station's holding cells.
She was arrested after allegedly stealing a R17.90 packet of Panado tablets at Checkers in Johannesburg's Cresta mall yesterday.
Akhona was accompanied to court by her lawyer, Kaiser Jonathan.
The court postponed the case to January 28 when Jonathan asked it to do so to afford his client time to make representations.
Jonathan told journalists that Benedict would be acquitted before the matter could even go to trial as the charge levelled against her was "preposterous".
