The Citizen reports that the trial against former North West deputy police commissioner Major-General William Mpembe and five others was scheduled to continue in the North West High Court on Monday.
Mpembe, retired Colonel Salmon Vermaak, Constable Nkosana Mguye and Warrant Officers Katlego Sekgweleya, Masilo Mogale and Khazamola Makhubela are on trial for events relating to the deaths of three miners and two police officers in Marikana in August 2016. They are facing five counts of murder, attempted murder, defeating the ends of justice and contravening the Commission’s Act by giving false information to the Marikana Commission of Inquiry. Several key witnesses have already testified when the matter appeared at the high court on 12 October 2020, including a crime scene expert from the SAPS, a CCTV operator from Lonmin Mines and a videographer from the SAPS. More key witnesses are expected to give evidence.
