LIMPOPO – Delay tactics by those accused of killing two Samwu officials, are taking a toll on the slain members’ families and their communities.
On July 12, the Radzuma brothers who have already been given a date for their hearing in the Limpopo High Court, applied for bail in the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court, and families of the victims say they are tired of these antics.

The Radzuma brothers with their legal representative, Advocate Ntsako Hlongwane briefly appeared in the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court, where bail was denied.
Representing the Mani and Musetsho families, Rabelani Mphaphuli said they found it worrisome that the brothers, who will be in the high court from October 9-27, would even consider applying for bail.
“This case has seen so many delays, and now, while we await trial, they want to apply for bail. Although the trial will not bring back our loved ones, we need this case to get started for us to get closure. Those who killed them and those ordering their murder, should be brought to book.”
