Pretty Mahlangu’s alleged killer
Sixty-eight-year-old Martha van der Walt is facing a charge of culpable homicide for the incident that took place in June in Dinwiddie, Germiston.
Attorney Kineil Muthray said he would wait for the court process to unfold.
“Maybe the video that we’ve seen and the one that he has seen is completely different, that’s his own prerogative and view, he is entitled to it. As much as we believe she was accelerating, she did not having any remorse and she was accelerating.”
The family of 13-year-old Pretty Mahlangu said they were hopeful that the footage would help secure a successful prosecution.
Family spokesperson Mzwandile Soyaya said: “Something must have happened for her to have accelerated and that’s where the disconnect is with public perception, social media and the truth. There are two things that would happen – either we make a set of representations which would have to be on the record.”
