The state and defence have agreed on a follow-up date for a pre-trial conference in June next year, with a murder trial for rapper Kiernan AKA Forbes and his celebrity chef friend Tebello Motsoane scheduled to sit the next month.
This comes after a morning of high drama at the Durban high court on Wednesday where judge Jacqueline Henriques lambasted the parties for the slow pace of pre-trial conference proceedings.
I am not signing the matter trial ready. This is in discussion with the office of the judge president, said an irate Henriques.
