said it has not made a U-turn in the Senzo Meyiwa trial in considering prosecution of the accused in the second docket.
The NPA has indicated that the decision in this docket will be taken after the conclusion of the current trial, as credibility findings made by the trial court against the witnesses will have to be taken into account.NPA regional spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana said the National Director of Public Prosecutions transferred the main docket regarding the Meyiwa murder case – Vosloorus – from the jurisdiction of the DPP Johannesburg to that of Pretoria on 9 February 2020.
“It has been incorrectly reported by some media houses that the National Prosecuting Authority has made an about-turn regarding the second docket, Vosloorus Cas 375/1/2019, when it announced that the decision in that docket will be taken by the DPP Pretoria, after finalisation of the current trial reading the main docket,” Mahanjana said.
