On Monday, the twins sat in the dock with white scarfs on their heads. Their family members sat in the public gallery. “It is a complete misnomer by the State that the investigations were completed and the defence was entitled to the documents,” said Van den Heever.

She said she had spoken to the State and they were afraid of contamination of the digital documents and there was a request for a bulk of the pages of the documents be given to the defence in digital form and the rest in hard copy. “They have had more than enough time to provide the documents to the defence.

To make a copy takes a few hours. The State could have done this,” Van den Heever said. “Two weeks is way too long we need to move this matter to the high court.” Van den Heever suggested the matter be postponed to Monday. However, Barnard said the forensic expert would only be able to have the digital dockets ready on 1 June and that there was no one else who could assist.

Reports said Hlatshwayo, 40, and a colleague known only as “Chom Chom” had tried to assist two women robbed of their cellphones when the robbers shot at them, killing Hlatshwayo.

“I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of a young talented man. Our arts and culture industry has lost a hero, who also died as a hero by trying to save the lives of innocent people,” said Mazibuko.

“His young life was taken too soon. He touched the lives of many South Africans through his acting and also as a radio presenter.

“We’ve lost a great actor, radio presenter, and also a great musician famously known for his house music compilations. My condolences to the Hlatshwayo family, friends and the Jozi FM family.”

She said Hlatshwayo, who played the role of Siphiwe Khoza in the popular local soapie, will be missed. “May his soul rest in peace and his legacy be an inspiration to the nation and bring comfort to the loved ones he left behind.” – ANA
