The case against two apartheid-era policemen, Thlomedi Ephraim Mfalapitsa and Christian Siebert Rorich, has been postponed to November 19. Stock ImageThe case against two former apartheid-era police officers arrested in connection with the murder of three student activists in Krugersdorp on the West Rand almost 40 years ago has been postponed in the high court in Johannesburg to November 19.
Johannesburg high court judge Majake Mabesele on Monday granted the request for the postponement by Rorich’s lawyer, who indicated he needed legal assistance from the police. The prosecution expressed unhappiness with the postponement, and said the case concerned an event which happened 40 years ago and it should be speedily processed.
The prosecution said other police members accused during the apartheid-era, such as the late Joao Rodrigues - accused of the murder of activist Ahmed Timol - obtained legal assistance from the police.
With all the current problems why dredge up the past. How bout arresting and jailing (better, executing) the corrupt politicians and business 'leaders' (Eskom, SAA, Tranent, Sanral) that have crippled this country
