Other avenues open for family of Collins Khosa to get justice, court hears

The Khosa family's lawyer Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, argued for the family when the case began on Tuesday.

Maenetje said the family wanted investigations into complaints about the conduct of the SANDF done promptly and impartially. He said investigations regarding the death of Khosa were under way and had not yet been finalised, adding that if the family remained aggrieved by the conduct of such investigations, they could approach the court for a remedy.

Maenetje said it was up to the court's discretion to rule on another order that the family sought. They want the court to order that during the lockdown everyone in SA is entitled to a number of rights that cannot be suspended, even during states of emergency.
