Trial of man accused of causing Simba Mhere's death to resume in March

The trial of the man accused of causing the death of Top Billing presenter Simba Mhere will resume in March. Preshalin Naidoo appeared in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on charges of reckless and negligent driving and culpable homicide.

His counsel advocate Francois Roets asked for the matter to be postponed so that he can discuss the evidence of Car Track fleet manager Lorenz Stoger with him (Naidoo).

“I will be doing my client an injustice if I don’t canvas the witness’s evidence further‚” Roets.

The court granted the postponement to March 6. The trial will run for four days.

Mhere and his friend Kady-Shay O’Bryan‚ who was a passenger in the car Mhere was driving‚ died at the scene of the accident on William Nicol Drive in Fourways‚ Johannesburg‚ on January 31‚ 2015.
