Accused number 4

Advocate Serunye recognized accused number 4 as a person from the same township with whom he had played soccer, leading to his recusal from the matter due to personal association.

“I recognised accused number 4 as a person known to me. We come from the same township and had played soccer together, a fact I had not previously appreciated. I consider that this personal association precluded my continued involvement in the matter, and I submitted a memorandum to the Investigating Director requesting to be recused from the matter.”

The occupant of the BMW 7 Series vehicle was accused number 4 in the case relating to 715 kilograms of cocaine and was arrested alongside the driver and two others.

“He was accused number 4 in our case ... you effected arrest of three people, the driver and two other people”
