Tilotsane says the case has emotionally affected the family.
“We feel grateful as a family, because it has been a long road. I remember when I was making the last interview, I said we were going to win this case, the Hollywood style of the NPA. We didn’t have time to peruse after this court case. We are still going to meet with the legal advisors, what is the way forward. At a later stage she will express her feelings about the case,” says Tilotsane.
