Government delighted with Mngeni ruling
20 Nov 2012
Government welcomes the Western Cape High Court ruling which found Xolile Mngeni guilty of the premeditated murder of Anni Dewani.
We commend the judicial system and Judge Robert Henney for his tireless effort and commitment to this case. The ruling in this case is a lesson to many other perpetrators who commit crimes against children and women in particular.
This ruling is a milestone for the judicial system, and reaffirms that crime is not to be tolerated in South Africa.
We acknowledge and commend the law enforcement agencies on their role in ensuring that the law takes its course.
