, Curlewis said with the way court proceedings in the Meyiwa trial have been going and the subsequent suspension of the Judge in the matter, it will be difficult for a new judge to simply continue where their predecessor left off.
“An option the family would have had would be to request for a preferential date and insist that the matter must be finalised as well as getting a new judge as soon as possible,” said Curlewis. “However, although there has been criticism on both sides , the biggest problem so far has been mainly on the judge but I’m sure other issues, if there are any, can be rectified,” added Curlewis.Another legal expert, advocate Francois Botes, says it is unfortunate that the trial in question has been suffering numerous delays since its inception.
