Zandie wants the government to appoint a legal team to work on the case from Monday to Friday. This team would solely focus on the murder trial and no other case.

“It is in the best interest of the country at large that the case is prioritised and fast-tracked. It has been eight years Mr President and no one can say they don’t have enough evidence, all critical and required evidence has been collected and been analysed, so let the court run its course uninterrupted, and it is about time.”

"Let's hope she'll stop acting and start telling us exactly what happened. Meyiwa family has been through hell already."

@MrThizozo said:

"Now I agree with her!! Kunini"

"This is them staying relevant with Senzo's name. I'm sorry nothing they do will ever be right in my eyes. Senzo must deal with them until they come forward and tell us how Senzo died and why they had to tamper with the crime scene."

@JCKAUNDA said:

"Why is noise now, where has she been all along? To fast track Zandi must tell the Judge who pulled the trigger since she and God know the whole truth."

@teemuvengwa1 said:

"She is just a witness, she is too forward, wasn't she supposed to write to the Chief Justice?"

@AmuFloyd said:

"She should have written to the Chief Justice. The President cannot decide such matters due to the separation of powers."

"Should have asked for this eight years ago Umkhokha is slowly doing its thing watch!!"
