The Presiding Judge in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial has apologized and withdrawn remarks he made about black lawyers during a court sitting on Wednesday.
Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng says his comments were ill-advised and might have been offensive.
The statement was made on that day, after the lawyer for accused number 1, Thulani Mngomezulu, failed to pitch in court.
Mokgoatlheng then suggested that some black lawyers behaved unprofessionally.
This as the trial of five men accused of Meyiwa’s killing continues in the High Court in Pretoria.
