Nafiz Modack, an alleged underworld gang boss, tried to confront Judge Robert Henney in the Western Cape High Court. The trial had resumed in January after a prolonged break of more than a month. The state relied heavily on cellphone records in establishing the case. Legal teams presented their arguments on closing Modack's case, with the court ultimately postponing the decision until Wednesday.
The Modack trial returned to the Western Cape High Court on Monday, May 18, 2026, with Judge Robert Henney again dealing with delays in the long-running case against alleged underworld figure Nafiz Modack and 14 co-accused.
The delay was caused by a Goodwood Prison inmate pulling out of testifying in the Charl Kinnear murder matter. Henney stated that the court could no longer wait, as several legal teams presented their arguments on whether or not the trial should continue. Judge Henney will make his ruling on Wednesday
