Dlamini perjury case ‘dilly-dallies’ as state fails to bring witnesses: The court heard how the state is unable to make travel and accommodation arrangements for its witnesses because it cannot contact them reliably

was postponed to Friday 26 November after the state failed to bring its witnesses to testify.“Yesterday we couldn’t do much, even today we are still being dilly dally, but nevertheless, the matter has been on roll and the day for tomorrow has to be utilised … the state must ensure that he secures this outstanding witness that he intends to call tomorrow,” ruled Khumalo.

It told the court: “The state was not able to make travel and accommodation arrangements … such arrangements cannot be done overnight as there is protocol that needs to be followed and approvals that need to be done … The only predicament that we have is the issue of such arrangements.” Dlamini’s defence, advocate Tshepiso Mphahlane, objected to a postponement, arguing the court did not have good enough reason to grant a postponement and that the state was wasting both his and the court’s time.

The state explained how one witness from KwaZulu-Natal ignored two messages the state sent and did not answer phone calls, and that “there wasn’t much the state could do”. Regarding the second witness, the state had trouble connecting telephonically with him.

NPA is a joke!This is what happens when state organs are used to fight political battles.She may as well be unlawfully detained like Zuma,we won’t be surprised!Maar one day is one day!Viva cde Batha viva!

The witness is in the gutter from a drive by shooting

Downright incompetence, or cleverly planned?

They are deliberately being incompetent so that no prosecution can take place… it’s all a money wasting game to them

The state was incompetent here. Don't like Bathabile but the truth be told.

I know we all probably must have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Derrick_Jones39 on Twitter he guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with him
