Nchindo lawyers request for damaging reports

The defence team have argued that the Slaughter and May report as well as the De Beers Confidential Report, which have been circulating in the media, have a bearing on the criminal trial of Garvas Nchindo and his co-accused, Joseph Matome.

Yesterday, defence lawyer, Lawrence Khupe, told the court that he believed that through a subpoena the reports would be produced. Senior State counsel, Matlhogonolo Phuthego, however, denied any knowledge of the existence of these reports. He said that the only document he was aware of that had already been availed to the defence team was a risk control report.
