In the video, Kafta and her colleagues were seen beating Nicole over having an affair with her boyfriend.
In court, Kafta earlier cried out to Nicole, her family, friends and the country at large, seeking forgiveness, saying all she did was out of anger.
“I know it is my fault and I admit that, but still I request Nicole to find space in her heart to forgive me for what I did because at least for the time we have been friends, I have done a lot for her, including helping her to have where to sleep at the time when her parents banished her from their home,” she said.
