Magistrate to decide Garvas, Matome 'forfeiture' request

Many had come hoping to hear the lawyers leading mitigation for Garvas Nchindo and Matome. Those who had come with this template were disappointed yesterday morning as it became clear that the case, styled as the Nchindo case, refuses to go even when it is in its last throes.

In the morning the case was postponed to the afternoon after the prosecution and the defence teams could not quite agree on whether they should admit the character references of Matome and Garvas Nchindo written by six referees without cross-examination.
