The father of the late Anni Hindocha and the man jailed for her murder while she was on honeymoon with husband Shrien Dewani, took part in an emotional restorative justice meeting this week, the Department of Correctional Services said on Friday.
Tongo is eligible for parole from September 6, 2019. In June, there will be a meeting where the possibility of parole will be discussed. The family will submit an impact statement to the parole board on Friday. Tongo at first said they had been hijacked but later in his plea agreement said it was staged in Gugulethu, and she was shot in the neck in Litha Park, Khayelitsha. In his plea agreement, he said he was not present for the shooting, but pleaded guilty to kidnapping, robbery, murder and obstruction of justice.
Dewani's trial came to an abrupt end in 2014 when Western Cape High Court Judge Jeanette Traverso said the State's evidence had"fallen far below" the level needed to secure a conviction.Tongo testified that he was to get R5 000 of R15 000 from Dewani before the trial collapsed.
