The long letter to the president starts by Zandie introducing herself and acknowledging the president’s decision to recuse Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela, adding that she is not sure whether that is a good or a bad thing.
She continued, adding:
“Mr President … I would like to request a serious prioritization of the Senzo Meyiwa case moving forward. My biggest wish would be to try and put a bit of pace to the proceedings of this case. I would like for the sake of the families who haven’t found closure after so long to request that one court is earmarked specifically for this case, a specific law team is also appointed to deal with nothing else but this case from Monday to Friday, up until it is concluded, and a verdict has been given.”
In her concluding statement the mother of one added:
“People have been bleeding for 8 years Mr President and prolonging and dragging this case even more won’t help them in anyway, insults have been hurled, accusations have been thrown and theories have been created so it is in the best interest of the country at large that this case is prioritized and fast tracked.”
