Court personnel and even those in the gallery could be seen drinking from bottles of iced water and wiping the sweat dripping down their faces as the heat overcame them.Even the accused were using face towels to wipe their faces and their shirts were damp with sweat.

Proceedings are in their second week with the court dealing with several witnesses in a court room with a broken air-con. State Prosecutor, Lawrence Gcaba as well as defence attorneys told the Judge that they could not work in such conditions.

The heat and lack of a working air-con have forced an adjournment in the high-profile trial of seven men accused of the murder of rapper, Kiernan Forbes and his long time friend, Tebello Motsoane.

Security has been beefed up in court this morning after the courtroom was cleared yesterday. It’s after one of the accused was allegedly handed a cellphone. A bench has also been moved creating space between the accused and the gallery.

A manager at the Pepper Club Hotel says he instructed staff to stop serving liquor to Forbes and his entourage given the tragedy that had just happened.
He says there was some pushback from the group, prompting him to personally go up to the room to speak to Forbes.

"I thought she was dead. I was on the phone with the owner of the Pepper Club, and as I was making that telephone call, I saw her left hand move under the sheet. I knelt down next to the body. I pulled the sheet back, and she was alive.
“Her eyes were open.”
