Proceedings were brought to a screeching halt on Wednesday when defence advocate for the fifth accused, Zandile Mshololo, told the court she could not carry on with cross-examination of the first state witness, Thabo Mosia. This, she has said, owing to the emergence of the second docket opened in 2019 recommending that those who should be charged are the people who were in the house during the commission of the crime eight years ago.
Mshololo has told the court she is unable to continue with the cross-examination of Mosia because she would like to cross-examine him on the contents of the second affidavit deposed by Mosia in 2019, which is contained in the second docket. The court took a short adjournment but the post-tea session didn’t change much as Mshololo insisted she need more time to study the docket and prepare a defense for her client.

KingKAzania SABC you are misleading the nation. If the first five are acquitted & there’s evidence that point to Kelly & co having committed the murder, they will be tried. Autrefois acquit is a plea or defence available to an accused if he was previously acquitted of the particular charge.
If this is from a real prosecutor, we are in trouble as a country. Why would they lie to you like that or is it SABC’s way of trying to “confuse the enemy”?
If you got this info from an NPA official, as stated in the article, we have a problem
