Legal Aid South Africa says it's extremely concerned with the delays and setbacks in the Senzo Meyiwa trial.
 
The trial resumed on Monday after another lengthy postponement.
 
The defence has finally opened its case, calling its first witness.

On Monday, Legal Aid’s high court unit manager, Joshua Mojuto, attended court to see whether the defence would bring an application as agreed in a prior meeting.
 
He said as the funder of the accused’s case, Legal Aid was watching proceedings closely.

"Legal Aid is very concerned with the delay that we have been experiencing and we have been managing the matter. We have been having meetings with the practitioners, giving instructions as to how, as the instructing attorney, we would like the matter to proceed."
