Jantjies was charged with malicious damage to property and the contravention of the Aviation Act.
The World Cup-winning flyhalf was arrested at OR Tambo International Airport two weeks ago after he allegedly damaged property on an Emirates flight.
Jantjies, the former Lions pivot, was all smiles as he left the courtroom on Friday.
He hugged his legal team before getting into his car and driving off.
His lawyer, Nabeela Moola, told reporters that she would not give further comment on the matter.
Moola said:
"The matter has been withdrawn and there is no further comment," Moola said.
Jantjies was recently named in Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber's 48-man squad chosen for the July series against Wales, the Rugby Championship, and the November tour to Europe.
