Sangweni family spokesperson Jabulani Moagi said, “I am happy that the court has transferred this case to high court where now the real issues about how mama died and why she died, and the involvement of the accused will be explained. As the case is going to the high court, I think it will give us healing as the family because this has been a tough journey that we were forced to endure. Now we are beginning to heal and we will work with the police in ensuring that other suspects who haven’t been arrested yet, do get arrested.”
