Dewani was accused of murdering his wife Anni in Cape Town but was acquitted of all charges.

"Dewani's case... was a serious case and seemingly these cases are more or less the same. I want to know why [Dewani and Van Breda] chose the same person.''

He will try to attend court every day. He said he would have loved to work as a lawyer but as he doesn't have the right qualifications‚ attending the trial is the next best thing.
