23 Jul 2012 Prof Andre Duvenhage indicated that Judge Eben Jordaan is going to give his verdict over a time period of 3 weeks. This verdict took MUCH longer than the expected 3 weeks, because Boeremag victims were sentenced on 28 October 2013, which is 1 year and 3 months later! Prof Duvenhage is of the opinion that the trial being 9 to 10 years (by July 2012) are far too long and he states that the reason for the long trial was because it being complicated. However, Boervin (the Boer Nation Freedom Initiative) who represents some of the Boeremag accused) is of the opinion that the Boeremag trial could easily have been divided into separate trials because based on the facts, there were easily distinguishable groups. Some of the convicted Boeremag members even met each other for the first time in court and prison. An application was brought to have at least 2 separate hearings, that would have shorten the duration of each hearing, but it was denied by the judge. Furthermore, court hearings closed at 15:00 from Mondays to Thursdays and at 13:00 on Fridays. Boervin's opinion is that the proceedings could have carried on all day to shorten the trial, but apparently legal representatives had to handle their banking on Fridays. Also, very often the court only convened for a couple of minutes. Boervin is well aware that the trial was, AND STILL IS, way too long, because the international standard for any trial is not to be longer than 10 years from date of arrests until all steps of the appeal process has been exhausted. Up to date (May 2018) it is already 16 YEARS since first arrests of the Boeremag members took place and still some of the accused couldn't appeal yet due to delays of in the process which are completely out of the hands of the incarcerated Boeremag prisoners. Please share this information on the duration of the Boeremag trial so that the world can take not of the human rights violation, as every citizen has the right to a speedy trial.
