AfriForum's private prosecution unit has been roped in as a family wants justice after Danielle van Jaarsveld's death in November 2022.

The family of Danielle van Jaarsveld, who died in a car crash 19 months ago, is fighting to get her case re-enrolled and have turned to AfriForum's private prosecution unit for help.

Webster’s lawyer, Eckert Brand, however, denies AfriForum’s concerns about the investigation and says his client was willing to plead guilty to manslaughter in terms of a plea bargain, but that the family found this unacceptable. Surveillance footage in George Herald's possession shows how the force of the impact launched the Kia backwards in the direction it was coming from before rolling several times onto the side of the road. Webster and his passenger escaped without serious injuries.

Van Jaarsveld's family was also told that eyewitness statements as well as the video footage of the crash were not included in the docket. Keating said 'the complete failure' by the police to properly investigate the incident, together with the ongoing delays, compelled them to turn to the unit for help.
