Thembinkosi “Nyoso” Lorch is a South African professional soccer player who plays as an attacking midfielder for Orlando Pirates and the South African national team.

 

 

 

 

He was named the South African Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season in 2019.

Following his arrest on 7 September 2020, Lorch was granted immediate bail in the amount of R2 000.

According to the details presented in the charge sheet, Mathithibala had visited Lorch at his Midrand residence, only to be left alone as he ventured out with friends.

During the trial, National Prosecuting Authority Gauteng spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane expressed doubts about Lorch’s credibility as a witness.

“The accused did not have any injuries which meant that he was the aggressor,” Mjonondwane revealed.

“The accused and his witness did not create a good impression in court and appeared to be not credible witnesses,” Mjonondwane added.

Lorch is expected to appear in court for sentencing on 23 July 2023.
