Meyiwa family 'devastated' trial must restart, but confident in new judge

Speaking on behalf of the Meyiwa family, AfriForum’s advocate Gerrie Nel says they are devastated that the murder trial of the soccer star, who died in October 2014, will have to restart. TimesLIVE also spoke to Meyiwa's brother Sifiso, who says the case is now in the right hands. The trial, which is set to resume in July, will start de novo (from scratch) due to the appointment of a new judge. Retired judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng is being tipped to take over from judge Tshifhiwa Maumela.
