At every court date, more family, organisations and community members demonstrate with posters at the ongoing murder trail of 27-year-old Siphokazi Booi at the Paarl Regional Court.
While the trial, which was expected to start in December 2022, has been hit with several delays, the matter was postponed yet again on Tuesday to allow for consultation with the accused.
The matter was postponed to 27 June to allow the accused's new lawyer an opportunity to prepare for the case.
The man accused of murdering Siphokazi Booi has still not been tried, nearly two years after she was killed and dumped at a filthy trash site in Paarl.
Many organisations went to the Paarl Regional Court on Tuesday morning amid a growing awareness campaign seeking justice for Siphokazi Booi, who was murdered in Mbekweni in 2021.
