JOHANNESBURG - The inquest into the death of human rights lawyer and anti-apartheid activist Griffiths Mxenge has been postponed to 17 June 2025.
This was heard on Monday morning when the matter appeared before the Pietermaritzburg High Court.
The matter was postponed to await a decision by the South African Police Service (SAPS) to grant those implicated in the matter with financial resources for legal representation.
The implicated worked for the SAPS at the time.

Mxenge was brutally murdered back in 1981 and at the time his daughter, Ntombodidi Makhanya was only just eight-years-old.
Makhanya who was also present during the court proceedings noted the postponement calling for justice.
"This is important to us, as a family we want justice to be done there is nothing beautiful when a family member passes on brutally and there is no justice. Painful and tiring as it is, we will soldier on. We want justice to be done,"she said.
