'I can rot in jail for all I care. I know the truth will come out one day and justice will be served,' said Sipho Mkhatshwa, one of the men accused of murdering the daughter of the EFF's former secretary-general Godrich Gardee.

“I obviously rejected this offer because I cannot be a witness to a crime I didn't witness. I can rot in jail if I have to, but I will not agree to doing something I have not done.”

“I didn't write that statement. The police officer came with a statement written already. He transferred it from one document to another. I just agreed with what was in there because I was trying to save my life.” “I even asked the IO if the station commander accompanies him to every case he's investigating. I'm really wondering what is the station commander's interest in this matter.”She went missing on April 29 while shopping with her adopted toddler daughter. The child was found a few streets away from their home.

Mkhatshwa's bail application stopped abruptly last month when his then attorney withdrew from the case, citing a conflict of interest.
