“We still believe in South Africa’s justice system and we will not relent until justice is done,” he said.

  1. When prosecutors postpone bail hearings just know that they do not have sufficient evidence, they just want to intimidate the accused to agree to plea deals. They are already failing to bring another case to trial. Someone is just intimidating him for not getting a cut. Bushiri’s strategy of not raising concern about the judiciary is brilliant. Even if he has grounds to do so. He is managing the trial well, but he needs a civil society institution to raise the concern in his behalf.

  2. Your God is with you my Prophets. He will never let you down. We are praying for you. We know that this too, shall pass.
    You are the anointed of God.
    Very proud of you!

  3. There is just a lot going on for these people. Now they are bringing in the Resident Permit issue. Too many flaws on when it was obtained. Eeeh khristu!!
