Legal Aid cautious Senzo Meyiwa discharge bid has slim prospects of success

# LegalAid South Africa has warned defense lawyers in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial that discharge applications have slim prospects of success and has declined to fund them. Despite this, three of the four legal teams plan to proceed while four of the five accused indicated to the High Court in Pretoria they wished to apply for their discharge after the state closed its case last month. Advocate Zandile Mshololo will continue with her defense. Advocate Nxumalo Gininda is expected to file by 15 August. Arguments are due on 25 August.
