Anni Dewani's parents have slammed the South African justice system after it emerged that the man implicated in their daughter's murder in 2010, was released after serving just half of his prison sentence.

At the time of Dewani's murder, she and her husband, Shrien, were on honeymoon in SA. While driving around Cape Town, two men stopped Tongo's taxi and ordered him and Shrien to get out of the taxi. Anni, who was still inside the vehicle, was shot dead.

"We believe that the justice system does not represent the South African people. Anni is not getting justice. Zola can go back to his loved ones but Anni will never return. Zola did not stand up to the bargain," Hindocha said. "The trial was a drama. The prosecutor was assigned at the last moment and the judge was appointed with no case for many years before this case and no trial after this trial," he said.
