Getting 20 alleged gangsters to court is quite a feat, considering the possibility of a sudden splitting headache of an accused, or a problem one of the lawyers had, so Wednesday was a good day when the trial went ahead without any delays. | itchybyte
The State alleges that Elton 'Koffie' Lenting was the leader of a faction of the Terrible Josters gang and his second-in-command was Raymond 'Muis' Arendse.It was a good day for the trial of the 20 alleged Terrible Josters gangsters on Wednesday, with no sudden headaches or security shortages stalling proceedings for a change.
They have all pleaded not guilty to more than 100 charges, which include murder, attempted murder, arson and drug possession. It was day 190 in a trial that has dragged on in its search for answers in at least 10 murders in Delft South by a group of alleged gangsters accused of fiercely guarding a drugs enterprise that specialised in mandrax, tik and weed.Many of the delays have been due to a shortage of specialised security, one of the accused feeling unwell, or a lawyer unable to attend.
The 20 men face a laundry list of serious charges, ranging from murder to attempted murder, illegal possession of drugs, dealing in drugs, and illegal possession of guns and ammunition.
