The jugde is not furious about the state submitted the documents late. When Advocate Mngomezulu is not feeling well he throws tantrums. It is not fare

[@mizamo_x]

Fair

[@Chibvunza]

Judge knows for the fact that the documents were furnished to the defence and now the defence are playing delay tactics. There's nothing more to be defended .Guilty verdict loading

[@tshepomasetle9990]

Judge Ratha Mokgoatleng, i hope this finds you well. I used to hold you in high regard and respect you when you were first introduced to this case, but now I have a view of contempt and utter disgust at your conduct as a presiding officer, and you really bring the name as well as what the judiciary stands for into disrepute. Your conduct doesn't resonate with that of a fair, respectable and impartial judge. You are disgusting, and your level of bias and favouritism is shouting out loud. I hope your conscience is clear after this trial. Sies

[@Kotieh]

In his presence they raised these issues and he does nothing , this judge is bias.

[@thomasmokgele4242]

Did you notice how the judge stopped Mngomezulu from putting his grievances on record. Mngomezulu wants 2014 205's for the people who were in that Spaza house which are relevant to this case not this irrelevant nonsense that is being cooked. The judge diverted and now he wants written requests after all this time. We are being played for fools here.
