They argue that the process has shifted from its original citizen-led purpose to become government-controlled, rushed, and underfunded. The foundations have requested a postponement until after 15 October but remain committed to fostering […]

Meyiwa murder trial marred by delays once again

The Senzo Meyiwa murder trial has been hit with yet another delay, this time over funding disputes surrounding a Section 174 application.
