The members of the Triangle Project have expressed their outrage, following several postponements in the trial of 9 alleged killers.The case was due to have started yesterday after being postponed on Friday, but it has once again been postponed - this time to the 4th September.

The men are accused of murdering a teenage girl in Khayelitsha more than 2 years ago, reportedly because of her sexual orientation.
19-year-old Zoliswa Nkonyana was stabbed, kicked and beaten to death by a mob.


Triangle project director, Vanessa Ludwing says ‘this case has been going on for about a year in the Khayelitsha magistrate court, if I recall Nkonyana was killed on 4 February 2006, one wonders when the family and friends will get justice. She added that right now the case gets constantly postponed.”
