has addressed a media briefing in Johannesburg, where she vowed to testify in the re-trial of the rape case.Constitutional law expert and political analyst Shadrack Gutto says the case is of extreme importance and should be treated as such. “Serious offences like this one need to be extradited and put in front of anything else, if we focus on the victim. Serious crimes like this one, especially gender-based violence and abuse should be prioritised.
