Joburg DPP made no decision to prosecute other suspects for Senzo Meyiwa murder

PRETORIA - The Pretoria High Court has heard how the director of public prosecutions in Johannesburg made no decision to prosecute any other suspects for the murder of Senzo Meyiwa.

Last week, the court heard from the defence on how the National Prosecuting Authority in Johannesburg and Pretoria had made differing decisions on who to prosecute in this matter.In a second docket, Kelly Khumalo, her mother, sister and others were among the accused for Meyiwa’s murder. Last week, Advocate Zandile Mshololo told the court that the Johannesburg division of the NPA had decided to prosecute Khumalo and others, while the Pretoria division went with prosecuting the men currently before the court.

On Monday morning, State advocate George Baloyi gave Mshololo, the defence for the four other accused, and the judge a copy of a letter from the Johannesburg director of public prosecutions.Mshololo said that she would now be able to continue with prosecutions after receiving that letter but needed more details in order to prepare her defence.
