The trial of Mario Masuku ended today about 5 hours after it had begun.
The Court could see through the three false witnesses and called the whole thing off while all had expected the hearing to last at least four days.
Jubliant PUDEMO members went to greet their President at the Matsapha Prison, where Mario Masuku had been kept. Now there are reports that Wandile Dludlu, President of PUDEMO's youth wing SWAYOCO, has been harassed and tortured while waiting to see the release of Mario Masuku.
