This, after a brief appearance in the court this Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The SANDF was subpoenaed to appear to account for the military\u2019s refusal to fund the legal representation for the former Lieutenant General, Christoffel Pierre \u201cJoffel\u201d van der Westhuizen.<\/p>\n
Lekoloana said this case had been escalated to the high court in Pretoria, where the reasons for the refusal were stated.<\/p>\n
He says Van der Westhuizen is, however, not taking any steps to expedite the matter.<\/p>\n
The inquest that seeks to establish who was responsible for the murder of the Cradock Four, Matthew Goniwe, Fort Calata, Sparrow Mkhonto and Sicelo Mhlauli, remains adjourned until October 4.<\/p>\n
