The Senzo Meyiwa murder trial started from scratch on Tuesday after almost a year and with five witnesses having testified.
Retired judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng is presiding over the trial after ill health forced judge Tshifhiwa Maumela to step down.Mokgoatlheng delayed the start of proceedings by a day for the accused to apply for legal aid.
“My biggest wish would be to try to bring a bit of pace to the proceedings of this case,” Khumalo wrote. “All critical and required evidence has been collected and has been analysed so let the court run its course now, uninterrupted. Mr President, I think I speak for almost everyone when I say the postponements, delays and breaks have been more than enough and it is time we do away with them.
