Advocate Gerrie Nel, who is representing the Meyiwa family, said he believed there was a mastermind behind the murder, and proceeding with the trial of the five accused without the mastermind would only make things difficult at a later stage.
The five alleged assailants appeared in court under heavy police guard. Some of them are convicted criminals. “We are all concerned with the safety of the witnesses so the State says the affidavits will be disclosed only in March next year.Nel said he was confident that the accused being held in custody are linked to Meyiwa’s murder, but he said his team was working with police to try to rein in the mastermind.
