Ahmed Timol murder case postponed
The case against former security branch police officer Joao Rodrigues, who’s accused of the 1971 murder of anti-apartheid activist Ahmed Timol, has been postponed to May 28 in the High Court in Johannesburg.
The court is waiting for the finalisation of his appeal in the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein. Rodrigues is applying for permanent stay of prosecution in the Supreme Court after a full bench of the High Court in Johannesburg dismissed it.

Inquests: another way to truth and reconciliation

Feb 23, 2020 IOL
The historic Ahmed Timol inquest was successful at overturning the apartheid magistrate’s false verdict of suicide and in setting a new legal precedence.
Neil Aggett’s inquest follows on this precedence while Dr Hoosen Haffajee’s inquest will follow this trend later this year in the Durban High Court.
