Saturday marks exactly 10 years since the Bafana Bafana captain was murdered at the home of his then girlfriend, singer Kelly Khumalo.
JOHANNESBURG - The mysterious death of the country’s beloved football captain Senzo Meyiwa has highlighted South Africa’s justice system, raising questions about its efficiency and pace.
However, a decade since Meyiwa took his last breath, the trial for his murder is still ongoing, and there is no clear indication of an end in sight.“It feels like every other session gets postponed, and it’s dragging the entire process. The setbacks impact not only the family but also the accused and the public at large.”
After an entire year of proceedings, the restart button was pressed on the trial, and it had to start de novo after the initial presiding judge, Tshifhiwa Maumela, fell ill. “Is this how Black lawyers behave? Why doesn’t he phone me? This is what counsel or an attorney who has ethical standards does. I listen! I don’t just sit here.”Throughout this year, the frustration for progress to be made has been mounting from the judge and even his superiors.
