The lawyer representing the Sunday Standard and The Telegraph, Dick Bayford, has reached an agreement with the Nchindo legal team after its leader Parks Tafa wanted the newspapers charged with contempt for publishing material detrimental to a fair trial.

Bayford read the agreement in court on Tuesday on behalf of Nchindo and Matome who had complained to Regional Magistrate Lot Moroka that the published articles had a bearing on the pending court case.

Bayford told the court that the newspapers do not accept any wrongdoing or blame. He told the court that the two newspapers have endeavoured to set the rights and obligations of the accused and to uphold the integrity of the proceedings currently pending before court on their reportage.
