Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela is unwell, thus the murder trial of murdered soccer player Senzo Meyiwa will not go forward this week as planned.
A brief week of proceedings had been scheduled before the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.
He might be unable to pursue the lawsuit further due to health issues. George Baloyi, the state’s advocate, said, “We are going to sit down and plan a course of action.
It is expected that the proceedings will get back up on July 17.
The murder trial for Meyiwa, which took place in 2014, has been ongoing for the past two years.
Meyiwa was shot dead in the family home of his then-lover and musician, Kelly Khumalo, in Vosloorus.
Khumalo, her mother Ntombi, sister Zandie, Zandie’s boyfriend at the time Longwe Twala, and Senzo’s friends Thwala and Tumelo Madlala, were in the house at the time of the murder.
This left many people happy because they feel he didn’t know what he was doing, others claim they should bring on a white judge.
