We have had more than a week of coverage already between not only the international media and the local media but also new channel – Channel 199. I’d love to know what the what your opinion is of what you’ve seen on the channel so far, what you like and what you don’t. I think it’s been an eye-opener for a lot of people were not aware as to what goes on in a trial in from that point of view it’s been very good. It’s also been running fairly slowly, with lengthy breaks, and delays and one wonders how long this trial is going to last – it could easily be 3 months.

What I haven’t enjoyed about the coverage, is it when I get home after work I do actually like to see more made of the highlights of what happened in court rather than to see a bunch of talking heads discussing what happened in court. It’s very hard to believe those talking heads, when in some instances you know that for example they are not criminal advocates or people who have actually been judges in South Africa. In other words, somebody is introduced as an advocate of the Johannesburg Bar and who is an expert presumably on this area and you know full well that normally when he or she is in court, they are actually dealing with the Road Accident Fund matters. It’s not going to affect the man in the street, who believe that person is an expert, and compared to the man in the street they said they probably are, but for me it’s just a little bit hard to believe when I know the person is certainly not an expert in that area.
