The Gauteng High Court set aside a decision by the Johannesburg Parole Board to deny convicted killer Donovan Moodley parole on Thursday.
Judge Stuart Wilson ordered the board to reschedule the parole hearing for March 2023.
Moodley kidnapped Matthews from Bond University in Sandton in 2004, held her captive and demanded a ransom from her family. He shot and killed her after her family sent him R50 000. The only fact the Case Management Committee held against Mr Moodley was that he had not participated in a victim-offender dialogue with the Matthews family. While Mr Moodley was open to this, the Matthews family understandably had no interest in participating in such a dialogue.
