In 18 years of reporting I've never seen such a hostile crowd. Clearly journalists were the targets. More worrying was the lawlessness & zero policing...as though Nkandla is a federal state with its own rules and President.

It was only on Monday that the NPA publicly revealed that the Tembes had approached them to make representations - following the decision not to prosecute. I'm sure that Julia, like any good journalist, went looking for the correspondence and uncovered the lawyer's letter.
So this letter was written by the Tembe family in June last year...two weeks after NPA declined to prosecute. You are reporting on it & telling public about it TODAY, 8 months later. Why?

Mfwethu, a court can decide to seal documents and in the CR case the court granted the prayer by CR tram. In the Zuma case the "letter" was part of the public court docs. No one - not the JZ legal team or DCS - made such a request cos they did not consider it to be confidential.

I also think the evidence of Aggett's sister and Barbara Hogan is a necessary reminder that the fight against apartheid was not a linear black vs white struggle. It's also a history lesson - especially for those who seek to erase the role played by other races
