Ossie Rodgers

Popular NTN Channel 69 and NTN radio 89.1 FM announcer Ossie Rodgers was granted bail yesterday on charges that he assaulted a 13-year-old girl and used threatening behaviour towards her mother.

Sitting at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court, Magistrate Alex Moore granted Rodgers $25,000 bail on the assault charge and $15,000 bail on the threatening behaviour charge, after the prosecution announced that the investigations into the matter were not completed.

The magistrate reasoned that the basis for Rodgers being remanded at the last hearing, was the fear of safety expressed
