It is said that in the eyes of the law we are all. However, the recent occurrences in our judicial system has indicated that while might all be equal, some are more equal than others. Whether it is the ongoing trial of Thabo Bester and Dr. Nandipha Magudumana and the privileges they have been extended.
Following the initial Monday, 15 May 2023 delays Zandie Khumalo had caused at the time when she was meant to finally take the stand in order to retell her version of events in terms of what happened to Senzo Meyiwa. After successfully hindering this fact, she had taken to social media to gloat.
[Zandie] disabled the comments from her next post. This is as she would take jabs at all the backlash she was receiving on social media.
As such, her cheeky caption wrote in isiZulu but when translated to English reads:
“Since you have tried everything else, why do you not just poison me. Also, why are you all so angry (laughing emojis) because it is only going to get worse. I suggest you take screenshots.”
However, seeing as the matter was used against her during Wednesday, 17 May 2023’s hearing. It was believed by the public that the judge would deliver his verdict during this hearing on whether or not Zandie’s testimony will be broadcast through visuals and audio, or these mediums would be banned.
But for whatever reason, it seems that the judge saw it fit to delay the matter for yet another day given the report.
The #SenzoMeyiwatrial postponed to tomorrow. Judge Maumela will give his ruling following an application by the next witness to ban LIVE broadcast of her testimony.#sabcnews

This stance has caused more contention from the public as it has been four days and counting since Zandie was set to take the stand. As such, the public took to social media to share their disgruntlement.
But it seems that Zandie, on the other hand, cannot be happier. This is as she took to Instagram to celebrate having delayed the trial yet again. This time, however, she was more strategic about her celebrations as she did not write a suggestive, or explicit, caption on her joy. Instead, she used visuals for this fact.
